They are teenagers, who should be in school. But, for these girls, there is a strange way of earning a living — selling the fruits of their wombs.

But the Police in Imo State yesterday announced that the “baby factory” had been smashed — a major breakthrough in their fight against child trafficking.

No fewer than 17 expectant teenagers were rescued from an illegal motherless babies home in Umuaka, Njaba Council Area.

The Ahamefula Motherless Babies Home is allegedly owned by a middle aged woman simply identified as “Madam One Thousand”.

Also rescued from the home after the police raid were 11 minors, who the police said were apparently waiting for prospective buyers.

The girls, who are between the ages of 14 and 17, were said to have been impregnated by a 23-year old boy, simply identified as Oyibo.

Looking pale and unkept, the girls are at various stages of pregnancy. They wept profusely during their parade at the Command Headquarters in Owerri, the state capital.

Speaking during the parade, the Commissioner of Police, Musa Mohammed Katsina, said that the illegal babies home was raided by the Ambush Squad attached to the Command after a tip-off.

He said the suspect, who is now at large, was producing pure water in the compound to deceive the public.

The CP said when the police invaded the tightly secured compound, “17 pregnant minors were seen holed up in different rooms in the large compound with some of their kids playing around”.

Also paraded by the Police was the security man, Mr. Uzoamaka Okoli (55) from Nempi Amafor in Oru West Council Area and Oyibo, 23, who confessed to being responsible for all the pregnancies.
