Two suspects have been arrested by the men of the Delta State Police Command after they uncovered a baby factory located within the Obodogba community in the Okpanam Oshimili North Local Government Area of the state.
The spokesman for the state police command, Bright Edafe, affirmed that three pregnant women were rescued from the den while two suspects: Promise Ejogu, 25; and Aruna Sulieman, 29; were arrested.
According to the PPRO, the Command foiled the syndicate following information gathered that there was a baby factory located somewhere in Obodogba community, Okpanam.
“Acting on the information, on July 10, 2022, at about 0730hours, operatives of the State Investigation Department stormed their den in Okpanam community, and successfully rescued three pregnant women, while the two suspects were arrested,” the PPRO said.
It was gathered that Ejogu is a brother to the ring leader of the syndicate who reportedly engages in sexual activities with these women to get them pregnant.
