The Abia State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) on Monday arrested a 64-year-old man, Mr Nnanna Michael, for operating an illegal baby factory and child trafficking ring in Aba, the commercial hub of the state.
The suspect, a native of Obinkita Arochukwu, was arrested on Saturday at his residence on Abanafo Street, Ariaria, following credible intelligence provided to the command.
During the operation, two women, Doris Nelson (23) from Gombe State and Ugochukwu Winner (21) from Isinweke, Imo State, were rescued from his residence.
Narrating the ordeal, the Command said Nelson, who gave birth on September 9, 2024, had sold her baby to a yet-to-be-identified buyer, while Winner is currently seven months pregnant and was being held under similar circumstances.
The state Commandant, Usman Alfadarai, while briefing and parading the suspect before newsmen, said Michael confessed to harbouring pregnant women, taking care of them until delivery, and then selling their babies.
Michael revealed that he had been in the illicit business for a long time, leveraging his contacts from his previous work experience at a motherless home to find both buyers and sellers.
The commandant said the case will be transferred to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) for prosecution, adding that the court will determine further course of action.
He called on parents to take responsibility for the proper upbringing of their children and urged the public to be vigilant and provide credible intelligence on suspicious activities.
The suspect, Michael Nnanna, confessed to the crime, saying he regretted his actions. The rescued women, Doris Nelson and Ugochukwu Winner, also expressed regret, with Nelson stating that her parents did not know about her pregnancy, and Winner revealing that she was linked up with the suspect by the mother of her classmate.
