The Delta Police Command has discovered a “baby-production” factory in Asaba, the state capital, arrested the operator of the illegal trade, and rescued eight pregnant girls from the compound.
Spokesperson of the command, DSP Celestina Kalu, said the baby-making factory was discovered after some detectives, acting on a tip-off, swooped on the premises.
“On July 30, 2015, Police detectives from GRA Division Asaba, raided a suspected baby factory opposite the Federal Radio Corporation, Asaba, and arrested its operator, Mr. John Ihezun.
“Detectives also arrested two boys, one Prince Chukwu and Obum Nwankwo, in the premises of the baby factory,” Kalu said.
The command said it found eight pregnant girls. The command said it had commenced investigations into the matter, saying that any person found to be involved, would be prosecuted.
