Police in Kenya have arrested three senior medical officers for allegedly running a child-trafficking syndicate following a BBC investigation into the theft and sale of babies.

BBC Africa Eye revealed children were stolen to order from illegal clinics and at a Nairobi public hospital.

The babies were sold for as little as £300 ($400).

The police chief has ordered an investigation into hospitals, as well as children's homes in Nairobi.
