Police have uncovered a baby factory at
the Ogbor-Hill area of Aba in Abia State and rescued five pregnant women.
The
police also arrested a 54-year-old man, Nkem Nwokocha and his wife, identified
simply as nurse, who were said to be the owners of the baby factory.
The
pregnant women rescued includes one 29-years-old Chidinma Ifeanyi Chukwu, who
hails from Isiala Mbano in Imo State, Kelechi Sampson, 20, and Happiness Godwin
from Mboko Umuanunu village in obingwa, Abia State.
Others are Okoronkwo Mercy, a native of Alayi
in Bende Local Government Area and Oluebube Onyabu also from Umuanunu village
in Obingwa Local Government Area of the state.
While
parading the suspects at the police headquarters in the state capital, Umuahia,
the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Adeleye Oyebade, said the police acted on a
report that the suspects were running a child trafficking home that led to
their arrest.
The
police boss frowned at the rate at which people indulge in the illegal sale of
children in the state, adding that it was an act of wickedness against
children.
