NSCDC Rescues Two From Abia Baby Factory

Two young women, Doris Nelson and Winner Ugochukwu, have been rescued from the baby factory residence of one Nnanna Michael in the Ariaria area of Aba, Abia State.

Micheal Nnanna, 64, was arrested based on intelligence gathered and presented to the Command by Abia State Command of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps NSCDC led by Usman Ishaq Alfadari.

The Public Relations Officer, Abia Command of the NSCDC, Doreen Ogechi Udugwu, in a press statement said one of them, Doris Nelson, 23, is from Gombe State, while the second suspect, Winner Ugochukwu, is 21 and hails from Isinweke, Ihite Uboma, Imo State.

But an investigation by the NSCDC led to the discovery that Doris Nelson was delivered of the baby on Monday, September 9, 2024, and the baby was sold to an unknown bidder at the sum of N1.1 million, while the mother was given only N100,000 out of the sum of N500,000 which the suspect had promised to pay to her.

Further investigations showed that the second rescued girl, Winner Ugochukwu, is now seven months pregnant.

The suspect and the rescued girls were paraded before reporters in Aba by Alfadari, who quoted the suspect, one Michael Nnanna, a father of four children, as claiming to have been a former worker in a motherless home. He also confessed, according to the source, to keeping pregnant women and taking care of them until due date before selling the babies.

The accused baby factory operator further said that Doris Nelson was introduced to him by someone in Abuja, while Winner Ugochukwu was introduced to him by Evangelist First Samuel, who is currently at large.

The commandant of the Abia NSCDC said the suspect had been in the illegal business for some time before being apprehended.

He explained further that after investigations, the matter would be referred to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, otherwise known as NAPTIP, for prosecution.
