Another baby making factory have been discovered, this time in d in Igwuruta, Rivers state. Reports show that three pregnant women and a 36-year-old man
(pictured above) suspected to be involved in producing babies for sale were
paraded by the Rivers State Police Command on Tuesday July 8, 2014..
The suspects had been arrested in Igwuruta, Rivers state on July 5th
and were identified as Stanley Okechukwu (male, 36), Goodness Nwankwo (19), Odinchinma
Nwala (25), and Glory Anyanwu (22).
According to Mr. Bello Muhammed, DPO of Igwuruta Police Station, "We
sent a patrol team that went and confirmed the information. When the police
traced and arrested Okechukwu, who took the team to where he kept the girls on
Saturday, July 5, 2014, it was discovered that the suspects had been involved
in the business for a long time."
Speaking with newsmen, he explained how they got information from well
meaning Nigerians of the activities of the suspects. Mohammed said that
investigation was on-going to get to the root of the matter, adding that child
trafficking remains an offence in the country.
“The girls were brought from different local government areas, and
further investigation revealed that after delivering, he (Okechukwu) will
settle (pay) the girls N100,000 per baby girl and N150,000 for a baby boy
before selling the babies”.
Okechukwu, on the other hand, denied operating a baby factory while
speaking with newsmen. He said claimed that he was only helping the young
pregnant women.
Besides, one of the pregnant women, Glory Anyanwu, said she was
eight months pregnant, but denied she was being kept for a baby producing
business. She claimed Okechukwu met her condition and offered to assist her
with accommodation. She also said she knows who impregnated her, indicating she
was not there for business.
How long shall this be?
