\u2022Centre to help infertile couples, says proprietor<\/strong><\/p>\n

The police yesterday uncovered another baby factory in Enugu, just less than one week after the last discovery.<\/p>\n

A middle- aged man, who gave his name as Ozo Ben Akpudache of Ogui Eke in Udi local Government Area of Enugu state, is said to be behind the baby factory.<\/p>\n

He is helping the police in their investigation over his alleged involvement in the running of the place where young expectant girls were kept and delivered of their babies.<\/p>\n

Akpudache told the police that the babies after delivery were given out to those in need of children.<\/p>\n

He was arrested by the operatives of 9th Mile Division of Enugu State Police Command at his Ogui Eke residence where he has a three-room apartment reserved for keeping of young pregnant girls.<\/p>\n

Police spokesman, Ebere Amaraizu, said the suspect’s house was raided following a tip-off.<\/p>\n

Six young pregnant girls who gave their names as Chika Nwankwo, Ogochukwu Amadi, Amarachi Sunday, Ugwu Nnenna, Maryann Ani and Ogbu Precious were rescued from the apartment.<\/p>\n

Nnenna narrated her ordeals, pointing out she went to the apartment out of frustration.<\/p>\n

She said the proprietor promised to give her some undisclosed amount of money after delivery to take care of herself.<\/p>\n

An undisclosed acquaintance, she added, introduced her to the centre, an action she said she regrets.<\/p>\n

Akpudache stated that he had been in the business for five years.<\/p>\n

He said the business was geared towards helping childless couples who can afford to buy the babies.<\/p>\n

He further confessed carrying out the deliveries in one of the rooms of his apartment where a traditional labour room was set.<\/p>\n

He admitted he is not a medical doctor but does his things traditionally.<\/p>\n

The rescued girls are now helping the police in their investigations.<\/p>\n
