The Rivers State Police Command says at least 25 children and six pregnant women have been rescued from a baby factory in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
Nnamdi Omoni, the spokesman of the state police command, said on Wednesday the development followed the offensive launched by the command’s E-Crack Team against the baby trafficking syndicate operating at Oyigbo and Trans Amadi in the Port Harcourt metropolis on Tuesday.
According to him: “Following intelligence reports, our men discovered a baby factory and rescued 25 children and six pregnant women with some other suspects believed to be owners of the place. They are presently at Mile 1 Police Station.”
Omoni further said police had commenced moves to track down the other members of the gang.
