The State Security Service (SSS) in Abia State paraded 16 ladies aged between 17 and 37 in a baby factory yesterday where they were waiting to deliver and sell their children to prospective buyers.
Director of SSS, Mathew Obodoechi described the house where the girls lived as very unhygienic and the women were all at various stages of pregnancy.
The house at No. 3 Anyamele Street, off Nicholas Avenue, in Umungasi area of Aba, doubled as a charity foundation called Cross Foundation International. Obodoechi said the women were kept there till they delivered and then were paid N50, 000 before they were sent away. Their babaies however, stayed back and were sold to people across the country.
Run by one Dr Hyacinth who was also arrested, the foundation was duly registered with Ministry of Women Affairs.
Hyacinth said he did not see himself as somebody doing anything illegal. According to reports, he said the first time he was arrested in 2004 by the police, he went to court against the police and NAPTIP and was awarded N4million damages, which he said the authorities were yet to pay to him.
During a press briefing, it was said that the victims were usually introduced to the centre by their close relatives and friends, including a mother who did not want her husband to know of the pregnancy of her daughter.
“It is unfortunate that some persons hide under the cover of Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) to perpetrate various forms of illegal activities,” Obodoechi lsaid, urging members of the public to desist from encouraging pregnant ladies to go to baby factories for whatever reason, whether financial or otherwise.
Common sense is indeed not common.

Sad turn of events. But I think Nigerians would like to know how he has gotten away with it for so long? What is the criteria for being accepted as an NGO?
Its also funny how everyone in Aba seems to know about the illegal activities that are taking place apart from the Nigeria police?
It is at times likethis, one wonders the attitude of Nigeriams if the slave trade was still.going on?
Lots of questions and so few answers!
