In a major breakthrough, the Lagos State Police Command has dismantled a baby factory operating in the Ijegun area of the state, rescuing 11 victims and arresting three suspects linked to the criminal enterprise.
The shocking revelation was shared by Nigerian Stories via its official X (formerly Twitter) handle, announcing the incident as “BREAKING NEWS.”
According to the police, the victims—mostly young women—were held against their will in a hidden facility where they were allegedly forced into bearing children that would later be sold or trafficked. The raid was carried out following an intelligence-led operation by officers of the Lagos State Command.
The identities of the rescued victims and suspects have not yet been disclosed, but police sources confirm that investigations are ongoing, and more arrests may follow.
“This is a major victory in our fight against human trafficking and child exploitation,” a senior police official said. “We are committed to ensuring those behind this heinous crime are brought to justice.”
The development has sparked outrage and concern among residents and child rights activists, who are calling for swift prosecution of the culprits and better protective mechanisms for vulnerable women and children in the state.
This disturbing incident adds to a growing list of uncovered baby factories in Nigeria, highlighting the urgent need for a nationwide crackdown on human trafficking syndicates operating under the guise of maternity homes or orphanages.
