Soldiers rescue 21 pregnant teenagers, others from a baby factory
The Nigerian Army’s 14 Bribade in Ohafia on June 4th, 2023, raided a baby factory at Umunkpei Nvosi in Isiala-Ngwa LGA of Abia State and rescued 21 pregnant teenagers alongside two babies while a 34-year-old Chef identified as Katherine Onyechi Ngwanma was arrested.
The factory also known as Nma Charity Home, is reported to be operated by one Mrs. Nma Achumba who escaped after she apparently got wind of the impending raid.
It was gathered that she operated the baby factory for years under the guise of a charity home, which she registered with the Abia State Ministry of Women Affairs & Social Development.
The soldiers raided the baby factory following an intelligence report that the owner was selling some of the babies to criminal agents for ritual purposes & others for child traffacking.
It was alleged that the woman was also constituting a nuisance in the area & that sometimes, human parts were seen around the building.
