This is not the first time such disturbing news has come from Rivers State and other parts of Nigeria. In past years, cases of baby factories, illegal child trafficking, and unlawful medical practices have made headlines. In 2019, police uncovered baby factories in Abia and Imo States, where young women were held against their will, and their babies sold. Similarly, in 2022, a shocking case in Lagos involved a nurse who secretly sold a newborn without the mother’s consent.

Authorities have assured the public that justice will be served. The doctor is currently in custody, and investigations are ongoing to find out if more people were involved in the act.
This case is another reminder of the growing issue of human trafficking and the need for stronger laws to protect vulnerable women and children in Nigeria.
