LAGOS (AFP) – Nigerian police have raided a home allegedly being used to force teenage girls to have babies that were then offered for sale for trafficking or other purposes, authorities said on Wednesday.
"We stormed the premises of the Cross Foundation in Aba three days ago following a report that pregnant girls aged between 15 and 17 are being made to make babies for the proprietor," said Bala Hassan, police commissioner for Abia state in the country's southeast.
"We rescued 32 pregnant girls and arrested the proprietor who is undergoing interrogation over allegations that he normally sells the babies to people who may use them for rituals or other purposes."
Some of the girls told police they had been offered to sell their babies for between 25,000 and 30,000 naira (192 dollars) depending on the sex of the baby.
The babies would then be sold to buyers for anything from 300,000 naira to one million naira (1,920 and 6,400 dollars) each, according to a state agency fighting human trafficking in Nigeria, the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP).
The girls were expected to be transferred to the regional NAPTIP offices in Enugu on Wednesday, the regional head Ijeoma Okoronkwo told AFP.
Hassan said the owner of the "illegal baby factory" is likely to face child abuse and human trafficking charges. Buying or selling of babies is illegal in Nigeria and can carry a 14-year jail term.
"We have so many cases going on in court right now," said Okoronkwo.
In 2008, police raids revealed an alleged network of such clinics, dubbed baby "farms" or "factories" in the local press.
Cases of child abuse and people trafficking are common in West Africa. Some children are bought from their families to for use as labour in plantations, mines, factories or as domestic help.
Others are sold into prostitution while a few are either killed or tortured in black magic rituals. NAPTIP says it has also seen a trend of illegal adoption.
"There is a problem of illict adoption and people not knowing the right way to adopt children," said Okoronkwo.
Human trafficking is ranked the third most common crime after economic fraud and drug trafficking in the country, according to UNESCO.

tl;dr: teenage girls duffed so crims can sell babbas.

The circle of life, such a beautiful thing.

An "Illegal baby factory"... Do they give out licenses like if you are on top of your paperwork and want to open a legal baby factory?

So, rather than some sympathy for the exploited and defenceless, you use this as a vehicle to fire off some generalisations. Well done Sir.

O and nice ninja skillz on the edit there.

Sweet Jesus, I'm sorry I read that article!

I can't even describe how disgusted I feel. I hope that fcuker gets whats coming to him, and that he suffers very badly in prison. Hopefully he'll find out the true meaning behind being Bubbas B1tch!

Africa? You should see what they get up to in Europe. Nuke the whole continent, that's what I say...

Most find legal ways to making some cash. You don't need to try and wash away what that scumbag was doing with some guilt trip about how everyone else is to blame.

I can never quite get my head around comments like this.

Would you rather all aid was stopped?

Pauleta

No we dont need Africa, its a beautiful place ruined by the people. The worse thing they did was get rid of their colonizers. Let the savages wipe themselves out.

Dudess

Even those who aren't savages? The majority should just suffer too because certain elements are brutes? My, good sir, your decency knows no bounds...

Yeah, including for the women and children who are victims of this operation.

I do believe that comes under the heading 'pig ignorant racism'.

Of course the fact that the colonisers enslaved, abused and killed - either directly or effectively - whole populations seems to have slipped you by in the night, for some reason. Evidently your view on who is a "savage" is not based on behaviour.

Which part of Africa? Which people? Egyptians? Malians? South Africans? Kenyans? Or maybe just come out with it and say you don't like the n*ggers and at least throw some honesty in with your opinion. Burning crosses and white pointy hats on aisle three.

ejmaztec

I thought I'd landed on Stormfront:eek:

Dudess

There are some such thick-as-sh1t views on Boards all right, as demonstrated in recent times. Nobody's denying parts of Africa have really, really messed up problems - and those who carry them out are responsible. Colonialism had a role in creating such conditions, but that doesn't excuse the brutes in any way, however the gleeful way some people feel all good people should suffer because of those who are making them suffer enough already... is disturbing.

hondasam

who ever is buying these babies are just as bad.They must have some idea what is happening.

The whole of Africa. The fact some others thought i meant one race in particular would suggest they are the racists.

I wonder what he means by "he normally sells the babies to people who may use them for rituals or other purposes." I'm almost too scared to ask.

Such a dreadful story, at least the girls and babies have been rescued from that awful place. Hopefully they'll get the care and support they'll need to move on with their lives.

Production targets are clouded by personal goals (however brief they may be).

Well you're anti African so, seeing as you'd be happy to let those who have done no wrong die due to the actions of others.

here - you dont know me that well if you think i'm blaming anyone except the scumbag for this. i'm simply pointing out that in p'iss poor countries the lowest of the low can stoop to this level easier than in developed countries. i'm of the 'help the africans help themselves' variety of charity ie. force them to develop their economies by not propping them and their corrupt regimes up with western money.

This thread is going downhill the exact same way the South African township thread did and the Ivory Coast one too

Accusations of racism all over the place and a one line post gets quoted four times. Easy to stir up a reaction in here it seems

Racist comments tend to have that effect.

DAMN THOSE LEFT WING LOONS, AND THEIR EMPATHY

Dudess

Ah the auld "You can't say anything without being called a racist" line - I'm not a fan of people who cry "racism!" when it's clearly not warranted, but it's not like it's reasonable to argue a massive continent should be wiped out based on a bunch of brutes in certain regions of it intimidating the majority.
