Imo State Government Bans Motherless Babies Home

The Imo State government has banned all non- governmental organization operating under the platform of motherless babies home (orphanages) in the state, after discovering a new baby factory in Owerri, the state’s capital.

 The discovery was made by the state police command, after it got a tip-off that a teenage pregnant girl gave birth to a baby girl at an orphanage and few hours after the birth, the baby was stolen and sold out to unknown people by the operator of the illegal orphanage home.

 While conducting reporters round the premises of the orphanage home in Egbu road in Owerri, the Imo State Police Commissioner, Mohammed Katsina, disclosed that 16 other teenage pregnant girls waiting to deliver were rescued from the orphanage.

 The operator of the alleged baby factory, Mr James Ezuma, 57, claims he is a medical doctor. The baby factory with the inscription, ‘Ezuma Women and Children Right Initiative N.G.O’ beautifully written on the sign post, looks quite different from what the sign post portrays.

 The compound fenced round and surrounded with bushes and uncompleted building turned out to be yet another baby factory where teenage pregnant girls are kept throughout their antenatal period and are promised to be given the sum of 100,000 Naira having collected their babies after delivery.
