LAGOS (AFP) - Police in southern Nigeria have raided a purported orphanage where they found 17 pregnant girls, arresting the owner on suspicion of planning to sell their babies, a spokesman said on Saturday.
The owner and a young man 'suspected of having been hired to impregnate the girls' were arrested, police spokesman Emeka Chukwuemeka told AFP.
'We are suspecting that young girls are deliberately encouraged to become pregnant so once they give bith to the child, the child will be sold to interested persons, maybe childless couples,' he said.
Police acted on a report of 'suspicious activity' at the institution in Ihiala, in the southern state of Anambra, that claimed to be an orphanage, Mr Chukwuemeka said.
