A baby factory home located at Lagos Street, Adesan in Mowe, Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State has been discovered by men of the Ogun State Police Command.
The discovery was contained in a press statement issued by the police public relations officer, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi and made available to Blueprint in Abeokuta.
According to the statement, it stated that concern residents’ of the area informed the police at Mowe divisional headquarters that a particular building located in their area is strongly suspected to be a baby making factory as most of the women seen there are always with pregnancy and whenever they delivered, they hardly see them with babies.
Oyeyemi further noted that from their observation, the babies are being sold.
On the strength of the information, the DPO Mowe division SP Marvis Jayeola led his men to the area where a man who is strongly suspected to be working for the operator of the home was arrested with four women and four children.
One of the women is heavily pregnant while one of them is said to have just delivered a baby which has been sold as usual.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the home is strongly linked to one Mrs Florence Ogbonna, a notorious baby factory operator who had earlier been arrested for similar offence and had her case pending in court.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Edward Ajogun Awolowo has ordered a massive manhunt for the said Florence Ogbonna.
He also ordered the case be transfer to Anti-human trafficking and child labour unit of the State Criminal investigation and intelligence department for discreet investigation.
