The questions that are begging for answers in my mind are; is Nigeria
a cursed land or is it true that the God is really angry with the citizens? Why
do i ask these questions? It would be recalled that Police in Akwam Ibom,
busted an illegal ‘’baby-making factory’’ few weeksago,this time around,
another illegal ‘’baby-making factory’’ has been uncovered in Akute, Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State where eight pregnant women, including a 16-year-old
girl, were discovered and rescued.
The proprietor of the factory, Mrs. Angela Chigoeze, and her
brother-in-law, Obinna Ndunaga, have also been arrested by the police command on Thursday.
The state Commissioner of Police, Ikemefuna Okoye, while
conducting journalists round the bungalow said: “When we moved in around 7am
on Thursday, we couldn’t get anything. So, we left. But later we got
information and we came back to the house and continued searching. We
discovered that the pregnant girls were hidden in the wardrobe.
“One of the girls kept in the wardrobe fainted and she was taken to the hospital and
revived. This is inhumanity to human beings. The coordinator (Angela) of this
baby factory sold each baby at N300,000 or even above. She in turn gives
pittance to these young girls. If the mother delivers a stillborn, she will not
get anything.”
The
pregnant teenagers arrested are, 16-year-old Precious Steven, as well as
Miracle Eze and Blessing Saviour both of who claimed to be 17 year old each.Others
were Jeremiah Gift, 25; Joy Okoro, 20; Stella Samuel, 19; Agnes Igbo, 22 and
Vivian Princewill, 20.
The
proprietor of the factory, Angela, 29, who hails from Abia State, claimed that
her husband, who is now at large, rented the building last year as a
traditional healing home
The
state Commissioner of Police, Ikemefuna Okoye, disclosed that those arrested
would be transferred to the State Police Command Headquarters
at Eleweran, Abeokuta, for further investigation..
