On Friday, March 21, 2014, 10 suspects were paraded by the Ogun State Police Command for allegedly being involved in the running of a baby making factory located at Sebanjo Crescent, Fagbunle Bus Stop at Akute area of the state.

Eight of the suspects were pregnant ladies between the ages of 16 and 21.

Angela Chidozie who hails from Abia State lives with her husband and children in a four-bedroom bungalow and she is said to be the operator and manager of the baby making factory.

The state Police Commissioner, Mr. Ikemefuna Okota, said the arrest was possible with the help of neighbours;
“I have stressed the importance of community policing.  We got information yesterday that Chidozie was keeping pregnant juveniles in her house."

“After the mothers give birth, Chidozie would sell the babies for N3m or more while the mother of each child would be given a pittance. When we got to Chidozie’s house yesterday, there was no one in sight. We left and when we later returned, we discovered that five of the girls were hiding in one room."


“They were immediately taken into custody. Three more girls were later discovered to have been hiding in a wardrobe in one of the rooms by the policemen that we left behind. In fact, one of them fainted and had to be rushed to the hospital."
"Chidozie was, however, later discovered in a dilapidated wooden building in the vast compound where she reportedly hid."

He further added, “Some syringes and herbal medications were recovered from the scene. Investigation is on to unravel Chidozie’s partners because she was definitely not working alone."

Chidozie in her defence denied running a baby making factory because according to her, the girls were impregnated before they came to her for assistance.

She said, “I have been in this business since last year; I also combine it with herbal medicine. These girls came to me on their own to assist them sell their babies and I sell each for N100, 000 to childless couples. I have sold five babies so far. I don’t have any baby making factory because the girls did not get pregnant when they were with me."
