Men of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence
Corps (NSCDC) in Abia busted a baby factory last week, 32 pregnant
teenagers were rescued, while the proprietor and two others were
arrested. The facility is situated in Ihugwe, an isolated community in
Umuozuo, Osisioma Local Government Area of Abia State.
Most of the teenagers rescued were girls kicked out by their parents after becoming pregnant out of wedlock. The owner of the house will accept such girls, take care of them for the entire duration of their pregnancy and enter into an agreement to sell the babies after giving birth to them. It was also learnt that after giving birth, those interested can remain behind and be made pregnant again.
After giving birth, the teenagers will be paid N100, 000, for a baby boy and N80, 000 for a baby girl by the proprietor who will sell the babies to interested clients. “The owner of the maternity home sells a baby boy for N450, 000, and a girl for N400, 000,” the Public Relations Officer of NSCDC in Abia State, Victor Ogbonna, said.
He said although the home is registered with the state government, the owner hides under the guise to commit all sorts of illegality. The home was commissioned last December by the proprietor Mrs. Nnenna Mba, with the help of her police-husband Agbai Mba as well as one Chinwoke Mba.
One of the teenage girls seen at the said “Our madam (Mrs. Mba) is detained in Umuahia by men of Civil Defence. She is innocent as she only assisting childless couples from Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt by selling male and female babies at an agreed fee, thus she settles the mother of the baby and takes the balance of the money.They would release her to continue her service,”
She claimed that this is not the first time Mrs. Mba has been arrested.
