“Investigation activity was extended to Abia State and in the process of a coordinated raid on the baby factory, a female suspect identified as Popoola Bunmi and four other accomplices whose names are Chinwedu Peter, Chidinma Blessing, Chuckwu Christopher, and Favour Chukwu were all apprehended in connection with the criminal activity.”

The Police spokesman said bundle of new birth certificates and some equipment for baby delivery were recovered from the factory.

He said that the suspects as at the time of apprehension were unable to give any satisfactory explanation about the parentage of the babies recovered from the factory.

The teenage mother (Sarah) said she was not aware that her father wanted to sell the baby.

She said that her dad only told her that he wanted to give the baby to someone who can nurture and return the baby after two years.
