Police Uncovers Another Baby Factory In Imo State! Rescues 16 Pregnant Teenage Girls [Photos]

Imo State Police Command in a recent raid, has uncovered another baby-making factory in Egbu, near Owerri the Imo State capital, arresting the proprietor, one Dr. James Ezuma who runs a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), and a clinic. 16 girls were rescued in the process.

See details and more photos after the page jump:



The girls were kept in two rooms in the building that houses his NGO, with no windows while repulsive odour oozed out from their rooms
The girls, aged 14-19 were encouraged to get pregnant and take home the sum of N100,000 at delivery, on the condition that they would abandon their babies who would be eventually used for purposes ranging from child trafficking to rituals.

The commissioner of Police has warned the general public to endeavour to keep an eye on their girls so that they would not fall prey to such miscreants like Dr. Ezuma, who does not mean well for the society.



One of the girls who spoke amidst tears said, her boyfriend rejected the pregnancy and was directed here by her aunt. She said though she was given N100,000 after delivery, on the promise that they would train her baby, but she never knew her baby would be sold to unknown persons even without her consent. Also speaking, another victim, 18 year old Blessing A. who came from Lagos, told journalists that she became stranded when she got pregnant, but was directed to the place with the promise that her child would be taken care of. The suspect while speaking to journalists insisted that he was not into child trafficking, and that the child was given out for adoption on the consent of the mother. Other items recovered from the suspect include, a gun and 10 exotic cars of different models.

This is terrible! So disheartening! Every Nigerian must rise against girl-child maltreatment and trafficking!

Please don't just read this and ignore, share it to enlighten more Nigerian parents and the youths as a way of strengthening the fight against girl-child maltreatment in Nigeria. This is bad!
