Command
again has
uncovered
another baby-
making factory
in Egbu, near
Owerri the
State capital,
arresting the
proprietor, one
Dr. James
Ezuma who runs a Non-Governmental Organization
(NGO), and a clinic. 16 girls were rescued in the
process.
The girls were kept in two rooms in the building
that houses his NGO, with no windows while
repulsive odour oozed out from their rooms
The girls, aged 14-19 were encouraged to get
pregnant and take home the sum of N100,000 at
delivery, on the condition that they would abandon
their babies who would be eventually used for
purposes ranging from child trafficking to rituals.
The commissioner of Police has warned the general
public to endeavour to keep an eye on their girls so
that they would not fall prey to such miscreants
like Dr. Ezuma, who does not mean well for the
society.
One of the girls who spoke amidst tears said, her
boyfriend rejected the pregnancy and was directed
here by her aunt. She said though she was given
N100,000 after delivery, on the promise that they
would train her baby, but she never knew her baby
would be sold to unknown persons even without
her consent.
Also speaking, another victim, 18 year old Blessing
A. who came from Lagos, told journalists that she
became stranded when she got pregnant, but was
directed to the place with the promise that her
child would be taken care of.
The suspect while speaking to journalists insisted
that he was not into child trafficking, and that the
child was given out for adoption on the consent of
the mother.
Other items recovered from the suspect include, a
gun and 10 exotic cars of different models.
