Women rescued from 'baby-making' factory in Nigeria [View all]

Police have rescued six women and four children from a “baby-making” factory in Nigeria.

Officers freed 10 victims who were trapped after raiding the unlawful premises in the Mowe area of Ogun, a state in southwestern Nigeria, on Tuesday.

“Acting on a tip-off, our men stormed the illegal maternity home and rescued 10 people, including four kids and six women, four of whom are pregnant,” Abimbola Oyeyemi, a spokesperson for the police, told the news agency AFP.

The women told police they had been forcibly detained and raped before their newborn children were illegally sold on the black market.
