The Imo State Police Command yesterday continued with the
clampdown on ‘baby factories’ with the rescue of 16 pregnant teenagers between
the ages of 14 to 19 years from an illegal orphanage operated by a fake medical
doctor, James Ezuma in the guise of a Non-Governmental Organization.
Ezuma who is currently standing trial for alleged gun running,
anchors a registered NGO, the Ezuma Women and Children Rights Protection
Initiative (EWCRPI), a platform that shields his nefarious activities from
security operatives.
Briefing newsmen, the State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Muhammad
Musa Katsina, disclosed that “the NGO is a baby factory where teenage girls are
encouraged to get pregnant and paid N100, 000.00 on delivery to abandon their
babies who are eventually used for purposes ranging from child trafficking to
rituals”.
He said that the Command is battling to unravel the whereabouts
of a new born baby that was forcefully snatched away from the teenage mother,
Nnachi Chinaza by the suspect who refused to disclose to the Police who the
baby was sold to.
“So far he has taken us to Abia state where he said the baby is
but we were unable to recover the baby, though investigations are still
ongoing, the presumption at the moment is that the baby may have been used for
ritual purposes”, he stated.
The CP warned parents to keep an eye on their teenage girls to
prevent them from falling prey to child traffickers and baby factory operators.
According to him, “It is pertinent to mention that the suspect
was arraigned before an Owerri Chief Magistrate Court 1 on November, 2013 for
the offence of conspiracy and Unlawful possession of firearms.
“When a search was conducted on the premises, sixteen pregnant
girls between the ages of fourteen and nineteen were found; also recovered was
an automatic eight loader pump action gun which is a prohibited firearm”.
Speaking to journalists amid tears, the 19- year- old mother of
the missing child from Ebonyi State, said she was directed to come to the home
by a lady who promised she will be taken care of.
She said that her baby was taken away two hours after she put to
bed without her consent, “when I started disturbing him to give me my baby, he
gave me one hundred thousand naira instead”.
The names of the rescued expectant mothers were given as Peace
Effiong (24 yrs. Rivers state), Rita Nnanna (25yrs. Anambra), Blessing Ubbah
(20yrs. Lagos), Joy Brown (19 yrs. Imo),Precious Anyadike (18yrs. Lagos),
Kelechi Wenwu (17yrs. Imo), Chidinma Okoro (19yrs. Enugu), Iheekanma Onwubiko
(21yrs. Imo), Chinyere Ibenime (20yrs. Imo), Nkiru Alozie (16yrs. Abia), Nnachi

Others were Victoria Peter Udoh (16yrs. Akwa Ibom), Ngozi Ike
(20yrs. Rivers), Chika Eze (18 yrs. Abia), Jecila Nwonke (19yrs. Abia) and
Chinaza Samsom (14yrs. Abia).
Also recovered in the vast premises of the purported NGO were
