Civil Defence rescues 19 expectant girls from ‘baby factory’ The Abia State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has raided a ‘baby factory’ at Umunkpeyi in Isiala Ngwa South Local Government and rescued 19 expectant girls. Parading the teenagers and workers in the ‘factory’, NSCDC Commandant Andy Dateer said they received information about a home where expectant girls were kept until they were delivered of their babies, who would later be sold. He said the name of the ‘baby factory’ is Nma Charity and Motherless Babies’ Home and that the owner, who is at large, brings in men, who impregnate the teenagers. He added that the girls are given peanuts. The NSCDC boss said his men raided the place yesterday and rescued the girls and three babies, adding that four ‘social workers’ and four men were arrested. He said he paraded the girls and the suspects to make the indigenes to be aware that such people exist in the state. Dateer said although the raiding of a ‘baby factory’ is not within their operation, “it is part of the security work we do. I’ve informed the police, the women affairs department, the office of the governor’s wife and the governor about the development.” He said he would hand over the girls and the suspects to the appropriate authority. “We will ensure the teenagers are taken to their homes to reunite with their families. We urge their parents to take them back.” The NSCDC chief said one of the teenagers is in a bad condition and she has been taken to hospital. He said the girls told him that they had not been fed for two days. “But I’ve made arrangement for them to be fed. I enjoin the government to assist us in rehabilitating the girls.” Dateer said 15 of the teenagers are indigenes, while the rest are from neighbouring states. The Nation learnt that this is the third time security agencies would raid the ‘baby factory’ to rescue expectant teenagers. On each occasion, the owner escaped. Igbo Kwenu!!!
