The Anambra State Commander of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), Ibadin Judith-Chukwu, has exposed a chilling new trend: young couples pretending to cohabit solely to produce babies for sale.

According to the commander, the disturbing trend is especially rampant in rural parts of Anambra, where poverty and lack of awareness make communities easy targets for human traffickers.

Speaking in an interview, Judith-Chukwu described the situation as “a dangerous twist” in the human trafficking trade, revealing how young women are lured into sham relationships, impregnated, and then robbed of their newborns by men pretending to be their partners only for the babies to be sold to the highest bidder.

“A girl gets pregnant, then a man suddenly comes with a marriage proposal. Once she gives birth, he disappears with the baby sold off, often without her knowledge,” she said.

“We’re seeing more cases in villages where people are unaware of these schemes. It’s heartbreaking.”

Judith-Chukwu commended the efforts of the Anambra State Task Force on Human Trafficking, which was established in 2020 to tackle the growing menace.

She said the task force has intensified public awareness campaigns, community engagement, and collaboration with sister agencies to help curb the sale of babies.

“We’re reaching out to traditional rulers, pastors, imams every voice matters in this fight against organized crime,” she emphasized.

Looking ahead, the NAPTIP boss revealed that the agency is preparing for intensive sensitization during the upcoming August meeting, describing it as a crucial opportunity to reach thousands of women across the state.

“The traffickers are organized. We must be more organized. Every family, every community must be on alert,” she warned.

Many guys will use excessive consumption of alcohol to damage their male reproductive system when they are single, while the ladies use all manner of concoctions they take to reduce the effectiveness of their own reproductive system too, and when they get married, giving birth becomes an issue and hence they resort to buying babies to cover up..


Stop all these modern food consumption on daily basis, exercise caution. Everyday Pizza, everyday alcohol, everyday red wine, everyday beer, everyday ice cream, cold stone, everyday nkwobi, everyday hot dog, samosa, etc. You are killing your organs and causing yourself internal damages. That you cannot conceive is not always caused by village people or witches, sometimes if not most times it's due to modern lifestyle and the things we consume today. Apply wisdom, eating those things daily or frequently doesn't make you civilized or rich.



Why must you buy baby illegally?

If you want to adopt a child, why not go through the legal processes, stop being ashamed of adopting a child if you cannot have your own. It's nothing to be ashamed of, instead of going through this crude and illegal way of buying babies, please follow the legal process and be proud of it, the child will still be your child
