The
baby factories have resurfaced with the Abia State Police Command parading
recently arrested suspects.
Many
Nigerians thought the era of the proliferation of the so called baby factories in Nigeria has been nipped in the bud but
they have resurfaced as the Abia State Police Command has busted another of
such factories and arrested two nurses and four pregnant inmates, among whom was one with a two year old
baby, disclosing that they were rescued during a raid of a hospital allegedly
used as baby factory.
The
state's Police Public Relations Officer, Geoffrey Ogbonna, while parading the
suspects in the state capital, Umuahia, said though the Medical Director of the
private hospital where the nefarious act was being perpetrated had bolted by
the time the police got to the facility, the police was on his trail.
The
police spokesman say the fleeing doctor and the nurses were using the hospital
as shelter for young women with unwanted pregnancy only to buy off the babies
upon delivery and in turns sell them to willing buyers.
The
Police Command warned dubious medical practitioners and charity homes in the
state who use their facilities as baby factories to desist from the wicked act
or face the wrath of the law.
