A medical doctor, who is the proprietor of a maternity hospital where under-aged girls allegedly breed babies for sale, was yesterday arrested in Enugu. The man, identified as Dr Kenneth Akunna, was arrested by officials of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), at Zik Avenue. Enugu. Commandant of the Corps, Mr Desmond Agu, after the arrest, also paraded 22 pregnant girls whose ages ranged between 15 and 18 years, and had been in the maternity home, apparently waiting to give birth. Agu told newsmen that the Command raided the home, following a tip-off about a woman, whose name was given as Mrs Bene Aguocha, who allegedly sourced a baby from the home and had planned to travel to Lagos with the body. He explained that on getting the information, his officers moved fast to arrest the lady, adding that it was during interrogation that the woman made confessional statements that she bought the baby from the home for the sum of N340,000. Aguocha was also said to have disclosed that she was directed to the home by another woman in Enugu . Agu said his commandant plans to hand over the suspects, including the doctor, the woman who was caught with the baby and the girls to appropriate authorities for more investigations. But Akunnna insisted that he did not commit any crime, adding that his maternity was duly registered as a Non- Governmental Organisation (NGO) with the Enugu State Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development. He also said apart from registering with Enugu Ministry of Women Affairs, his establishment was also registered with other authorities charged with such responsibilities. He denied being involved in sales of children, adding that what his organisation does was simply child fostering. According to him, the pregnant girls remain with the home until they deliver and the babies are handed over to appropriate quarters for the next action, adding that he charges between N10,000 and N20,000, and was into the business to discourage young girls from abortion or dumping babies into gutters and pit toilets. He said he had been in the business for over 30 years. At the home was a mild drama, featuring officers of the Civil Defence Corps and the Police, who had claimed that the Corps had no clearance from the station to embark on the exercise. The Police arrested some officers of the Corps who were later released following the intervention of the state commissioner of police, Mr Sulieman Fakai. So let's hear what nairalanders have to say about this,especially as the man admitted to have been in the act for 30yrs |
