A daily torture “Mma asked that we stay alone in separate rooms for that first night,” Miriam explains. “We were surprised because the other girls in the compound were sharing rooms, some of which had four people in them.” Late that night, according to Miriam, a man walked into her room, ordered her to take off her clothes, held her hands tightly, and raped her. The same thing happened to Roda, but her rapist was much more brutal. “When I tried to scream, he covered my mouth and gave me a dirty slap,” Roda says. “If he saw tears in my eyes, he slapped me even more.” The next day, the girls were moved to shared rooms with others, only being sent to single rooms when they were required to “work”. Both girls say they were raped almost daily by several different men. They believe that Mma and Aunty Kiki work together in the same trafficking cartel and that Mma is the leader of the group. All they could make out for sure, however, was that the two women communicated with each other and the men in Igbo, the language spoken in southeastern Nigeria. |

Giving birth Within a month, they were both pregnant. But still, they were raped. “It doesn’t matter whether you are six weeks or six months pregnant,” says Roda. “If any of the men wants you, you can’t say no.” It was pointless trying to escape, they explain, because the compound was guarded by men with guns. Around a dozen girls were living in the compound when Miriam and Roda first arrived. But the number would change as the girls gave birth and were sent away, before new girls were brought in to produce more children for the cartel. Miriam gave birth to a baby boy in the compound, with the assistance of a midwife who was called in from outside. But her son was taken from her. Three days later, she was blindfolded and taken to a bus station where her traffickers made sure she boarded a vehicle back to the north. “They didn’t want me to know the way to the compound, that’s why they covered my face,” she explains. “I was given 20,000 naira (about $55) to assist in my transportation to my destination.” She first went to Abuja where she spent a night on the street before boarding a commercial vehicle back to Maiduguri. |

‘Boys are more expensive’ Miriam does not know how much her baby was sold for. “Some traffickers let their victims leave after giving birth because they believe if girls stay for too long, they could develop a plan to expose the trade,” explains Abang Robert, public relations head of Caprecon Development and Peace Initiative, an NGO focused on rehabilitating victims of human trafficking in Nigeria. “They are scared of sabotage.” Baby factories are more common in the southeastern part of Nigeria, where security operatives have carried out several raids, including an operation last year when 19 pregnant girls and four children were rescued. Women and girls are held captive to deliver babies who are then sold illegally to adoptive parents, forced into child labour, trafficked into prostitution or, as several reports suggest, ritually killed. “Boys are more expensive than girls in the baby sale business,” says Comfort Agboko, head of the southeastern arm of Nigeria’s anti-trafficking agency, the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), at her office in Enugu. “Male children are often sold for between 700,000 naira (about $2,000) to one million naira (about $2,700) while female babies are sold for between 500,000 naira (about $1,350) and 700,000 naira.” The majority of the buyers are couples who have been unable to conceive. Although anyone caught buying, selling or otherwise dealing in the procurement of children can be prosecuted, the baby trade remains prevalent in Enugu. |

‘Orphanages’ In recent years, security officials have carried out several undercover operations targeting suspected baby trafficking cartels whose operations the Enugu state government said are aided by some security agencies and unscrupulous state officials. To avoid suspicion in the local community, baby factories are often presented as orphanages, experts explain. “Baby factory operators hide under the ‘canopy’ of orphanages,” says Agboko. She believes people receiving babies from them either do not know or do not care that they are not really orphans. NAPTIP has arrested and prosecuted a number of people involved in the sale of babies in the southeast in recent years, Agboko explains. There are currently around half a dozen cases going through the court system. “We are now working in collaboration with the association of orphanage homes operators in the entire southeast to identify, arrest and prosecute such people,” she adds. There is no official data to show how many babies are bought and sold each year in Nigeria, nor the number of girls exploited by human traffickers. The United Nations estimates, however, that “about 750,000 to one million persons are trafficked annually in Nigeria and that over 75 percent of those trafficked are trafficked across the states, 23 percent are trafficked within states, while 2 percent are trafficked outside the country.” |
