Borno Government on Saturday said it discovered a baby
factory where children were being sold in the state. The Commissioner for
Justice, Mr Kakashehu Lawal, stated this at a press conference in Maiduguri.
Lawal said that four women alongside the principal suspect
were arrested for taking part in the crime. He said that the “trend is a
notorious fact which occurred in Galadima area in the state capital.’’ “After
the restoration of relative peace in state capital and its environs, a lot of
anti-social activities started to emerge ranging from drug addiction,
lawlessness and prostitution. “On Sept. 12, 2016, we got an intelligence report
by our civilian JTF in Gwange area in the town and we mandated them to arrest a
woman who delivered a baby boy and came home without the baby. “The suspects
were taken to Gwange Police Station because of the magnitude of the crime and
were later transferred to the Police CID Department,’’ he said. The
commissioner said that one baby was recovered and another one was rescued
during a raid on the factory at Galadima. “Sponsors of the factory were also
arrested. The suspects were rraigned before the High Court Number 13. “They are
now in the maximum prison pending the next court hearing on the matter,’’ he
said.
