The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) Abia State Command has rescued two young women, Doris Nelson and Winner Ugochukwu, from the baby factory residence of one Nnanna Michael in the Ariaria area of Aba, Abia State.
A press release made available by the Public Relations Officer of the Abia Command of NSCDC, Doreen Ogechi Udugwu, said Doris Nelson, 23, is an indigene of Gombe State, Winner Ugochukwu, 21, is an indigene of Isinweke, Ihite Uboma, Imo State.
The statement added that Doris Nelson gave birth on Monday, September 9, 2024, and the baby was sold to a yet-to-be-identified buyer at N1.1 million, with the mother receiving just N100,000 from the N500,000 the suspect promised her, while Winner Ugochukwu, is presently seven months pregnant.
According to the statement, the Abia State commander of the Corps, Usman Ishaq Alfadari, said one Nnanna Michael, 64, owner of the baby factory was arrested through credible intelligence provided to the command.
Parading the suspect and the rescued girls before newsmen in Aba, Usman Ishaq Alfadari, said that the suspect, Michael Nnanna, a father of four children, claimed he was a former worker in a motherless home.
The alleged baby factory operator reportedly confessed to harbouring pregnant women and taking care of them till their date of delivery before selling the babies and claimed that Doris Nelson was introduced to him by someone based in Abuja. In contrast, Winner Ugochukwu was introduced to him by one Evangelist First Samuel, who is now at large.
The Abia NSCDC commandant noted that the suspect had been in the illicit business for some time before he was nabbed, and affirmed that the case, after investigations, he would be transferred to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, NAPTIP, for prosecution.
