eight children from a motherless babies’

home at Umunkpeyi Nvosi in Isiala Ngwa

by the soldiers were six young men, who

claimed to be staff of the home, and two

girls, aged 16 and 25.However, the

between N80,000 and N150,000 for females

and males, respectively.



One of the suspects, who was caught at Eke-

Akpara in Osisioma Ngwa Local Government

Area, while trying to steal a baby, confessed

that he had been in the business with Mrs.

Charity for a long period, stating that his role

was to steal a child and deliver it to the her,

who in turn sold it to her customers.



Acting on the confession of the suspect, the

Commanding Officer 144 Battalion, Lt. Col.

Omolori Rasheed, ordered his men to raid

the home where about 14 pregnant teenagers

and six young men were arrested, while the

proprietress of the home was away at the

time of the raid.



A soldier, who declined to have his name in

print, told Vanguard that the babies, between

the ages of one and six, and the pregnant

teenagers, would be handed over to the

National Agency for the Prohibition of Traffic

in Persons and Other Related Matters,

NAPTIP, while the other persons would be
