Task Force Discovers Two Baby Factories in Anambra, Arrest Management

A special anti-child trafficking task force in Anambra State has discovered two houses in Obosi, Idemili North Local Government Area, and Onitsha where pregnant teenage girls are kept until childbirth and their children sold to childless couples.

The task force led by Anambra State Commissioner for Women and Children Affairs, Ndidi Mezue, found two malnourished pregnant girls kept in a room awaiting delivery in Obosi.

The team rescued the girls and arrested the manager of the home, pledging to launch further investigation and action on the case.

Another baby factory was also uncovered during the inspection of orphanage homes in Onitsha.

It was gathered that only girls who had issues of unwanted pregnancies were kept in the room to keep their identities and existence secret until delivery.
