Police uncover another baby factory in Enugu

Centre to help infertile couples, says proprietor

The police yesterday uncovered another baby factory in Enugu, just less than one week after the last discovery.
A middle- aged man, who gave his name as Ozo Ben Akpudache of Ogui Eke in Udi local Government Area of Enugu state, is said to be behind the baby factory.

He is helping the police in their investigation over his alleged involvement in the running of the place where young expectant girls were kept and delivered of their babies.

Akpudache told the police that the babies after delivery were given out to those in need of children.
He was arrested by the operatives of 9th Mile Division of Enugu State Police Command at his Ogui Eke residence where he has a three-room apartment reserved for keeping of young pregnant girls.

Police spokesman, Ebere Amaraizu, said the suspect’s house was raided following a tip-off.
Six young pregnant girls who gave their names as Chika Nwankwo, Ogochukwu Amadi, Amarachi Sunday, Ugwu Nnenna, Maryann Ani and Ogbu Precious were rescued from the apartment.

Nnenna narrated her ordeals, pointing out she went to the apartment out of frustration.
She said the proprietor promised to give her some undisclosed amount of money after delivery to take care of herself.

An undisclosed acquaintance, she added, introduced her to the centre, an action she said she regrets.
Akpudache stated that he had been in the business for five years.
He said the business was geared towards helping childless couples who can afford to buy the babies.
He further confessed carrying out the deliveries in one of the rooms of his apartment where a traditional labour room was set.

He admitted he is not a medical doctor but does his things traditionally.
The rescued girls are now helping the police in their investigations.
