The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) said it has sealed an illegal maternity and baby factory in Nyanya, Abuja.
This is contained in a statement by NAPTIP spokesman, Mr Josiah Emerole, and made available to newsmen in Abuja yesterday.
Emerole said the acclaimed chief medical director of the baby factory was arrested few weeks back by NAPTIP for allegedly swindling several women who were in dare need of babies.
He said that the sealing of the illegal medical outfit, Akuchi Herbal Concept, located on Old road, around Pure Water area, New Nyanya, Abuja, was part of the ongoing investigation into the case.
According to him, the case had already generated public concern among Nigerians especially relations of victims.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the operatives of NAPTIP last week arrested a 38-year-old herbalist, (names withheld) for allegedly deceiving women into thinking they are pregnant and thereafter giving other people’s babies to them having collected lots of money. (NAN)
