TROOPS RAID BABY FACTORY, RESCUE PREGNANT LADIES IN ABIA STATE
The 14 Brigade of the Nigerian Army have rescued about 22 ladies out of which 21 are pregnant, including 2 babies (a boy and a girl) following the raid carried out on a baby factory at Umunkpei Nvosi in Isiala-Ngwa LGA, Abia State.
The Troops on 4th June 2023 raided the baby factory following an intelligence report about the illegal factory where the owner who is an indigene of the area is engaging in selling some of the babies to criminal agents for ritual purposes, and others for child trafficking. The alleged owner (a woman) has sometimes constituted certain nuisance activities whereby human parts were seen around the building.
Nonetheless, a 34-year-old chef at the facility identified as Katherine Oyechi Ngwanma was arrested by the troops, while the owner of the baby factory is currently at large but efforts are ongoing to apprehend her.
Items found in the place include a Tiger generator, a stretcher, gas cylinder, a bag of rice, 4 cartoons of tin tomatoes, 5 litres of Vegetable oil, 2 bags of garri, and soup ingredients.
The pregnant women, as well as the babies, have been handed over to the Abia State Government for further action.
