The Imo state police command has
arrested a 35 year old native of Umuoda
Isingwu, Umuahia south in Abia state, Mrs.
Rose Nwadinaobi, for allegedly running an
illegal baby factory where pregnant
teenagers are kept till day of delivery and
their babies sold to interested buyers.
While parading the suspect and her
accomplices at the police headquarters in
Owerri, the state capital, the police
commissioner, Mohammed Katsina, said
the group was arrested during an ambush
when a suspected buyer, Mrs Amaka
Abuchukwu was on transit from Port
Harcourt to Owerri, where she bought a
day old baby.
Preliminary investigations by the Police
revealed that the clinic she described as a
herbal clinic was only an illegal baby
factory and as at the time of arrest, 6
pregnant teenagers waiting to deliver were
rescued.
A sum of N1.03 million, which was
deposited by buyers, was also recovered
from the woman.
Mrs Nwadinobi, the operator of the factory,
initially claimed to be a certified herbal
nurse who had over time treated women
who are unable to conceive but while on
interrogation confessed that her herbal
treatment did not produce desired results
in Mrs Abuchukwu and due to her
desperation, a pregnant teenager was
brought in to deliver and hand over a baby
boy in exchange for N250,000.
The pregnant teenagers who were rescued
from the herbal home disclosed that they
all conceived outside the home but
individually approached the operator after
they were directed by friends and were
promised the sum of N50,000 if they
willingly surrender their babies after
delivery.
Investigations also revealed that the
operator of the factory, who resides in Port
Harcourt, has a chain of clients all over the
country. The Police Commissioner disclosed
that further investigations will be carried
out on the matter.
