Ogun State Police operatives have dismantled an alleged baby factory at Abaren Village, Mowe, rescuing two pregnant women and four children while arresting six suspects including a nurse, following intelligence on suspected human trafficking and illegal adoption activities.
According to The Nation, the August 24 operation rescued Ilesanmi Foluke, 23, who is seven months pregnant, and Ejekwa Melody, 20, who is eight months pregnant. Four children were also recovered from the premises.
A follow-up operation traced a third victim, Blessing Bright Effiong, 26, to a nearby hospital where she had delivered a baby boy on August 20 — but the newborn’s whereabouts remain unknown. The case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department in Abeokuta for further investigation.
