Baby Merchants: 32 Pregnant Teenagers Arrested In Abia Baby Factory by Nobody: 1:17pm On Apr 06, 2013
Thirty-two pregnant teenagers at various stages of their pregnancies have been arrested in Umuzue community in Osisioma Ngwa Local Government Area of Abia State by men of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC).

They were arrested together with the owner of the home, Mrs Nnenna Mba and two male workers on April 2, 2013 following a tip-off. The girls , whose ages range between 10 and 20 were believed to have run to the home after getting pregnant without the knowledge of their parents or were impregnated at the home by visiting males employed by the proprietor of the home.

Speaking to Daily Sun at the office of the NSCDC, the Commandant, Mr Ben E. Dikuro said that his men stormed the home and arrested the teenage girls and the proprietor on Tuesday.

“We gathered from a tip-off that girls who get pregnant are lured to the home with rosy promises of compensation when they deliver. Also young girls who needed money are also convinced to get pregnant and deliver the child and be paid some amount of money.

The young girls are also allowed to sleep with some of the men they brought to the home. Anyone who delivers a girl is paid N80,000 and the child is sold by the owner of the home for N400,000. But if a girl delivered a boy, she was paid N100,000.

While the boy would be sold to those that need them for N450,000. “Our investigation revealed that she has been operating the home since 2009 but was able to register it in 2012. The aim of the registration was to run the outlet as a home for the less privileged, but she was hiding under that cover to perpetrate atrocities. All the girls we caught there are at various stages of pregnancy.
“You can imagine, this type of girls
that should be responsible to their
parents being lured into the
business of baby making just for
money.
The cause of all these is poverty
and lack of orientation. You see
children going into illegalities and
evil to survive. The parents of these
girls should know that as the boys
are important, so are the girls and
should be able to give them
attention. My advice to the young
girls is that they should keep away
from bad friends.
It is all about societal influence.
Everybody wants to make it big ,
not minding how it is made.
Almost all of them are pregnant,
cant you see?” the PRO said. The
proprietor of the home, Mrs. Mba,
who spoke to Daily Sun argued that
she was not doing any illegal thing.
She said her ordeal was the
handiwork of her enemies who
were not happy that she was
running a legal outfit. “I registered
this home with Ministry of Women
Affairs in December 2012, the
Women Affairs came and inspected
the place and certified it fit. The
area we are attending to the girls is
the social aspect of our job.
I have never sold any baby since
we started. Many of them were
conscious before coming to us,
they were not hoodwinked into
coming and they didn’t sign any
document for us as agreement.
If any of them delivers and they
want to give out their child, it will
be a matter between them and the
authorities that are in charge of
adoption. We only act as
intermediaries.

Why kidnapping is trending evil business for guys, baby making factories is another evil trending business for ladies and evil mothers.
My question is who are those buying the children after their birth? Why cant they expose them? Why is it that they cant publish their names or expose them?
from the owners point of view,there are some government officials involved by collaborating with them, probably getting financial feed backs.
And to all evil mothers doing such especially hidinG in the name of motherless ,or orphanage homes, God will expose all of you one by one.AMEN
