Police in Nigeria’s largest city, Lagos, have
rescued 19 pregnant women during raids at
what they call “baby factories”.
The women, aged between 15 and 28 years,
were found in four different locations in the city,
according to police spokesperson Bala Elkana,
who said four children were also rescued. Most
of the women had been abducted “for the
purpose of getting them pregnant and selling
the babies”, a police statement says.
Two women were arrested during the raids,
while the main suspect escaped after getting
wind of the police operation.
