Its alarming the rate at which people are commercialising babies this days through young girls. Few weeks ago, it was learnt that the police uncovered an orphanage in one of the states where this is taking place. Just yesterday, another set of pregnant teenagers were arrested, for intending to sell the babies.
The Enugu State Police Command on Tuesday arrested six pregnant young girls in a home where they were allegedly being prepared to deliver their babies for sale.
The Public Relations Officer of the command, Mr Ebere Amaraizu, said in a statement that the girls were arrested at No. 7, Anyansi Lane, Ogui in Enugu.
He alleged that the girls, aged between 16 years and 17 years, had negotiated with people who would buy their babies after delivery.
Amaraizu confirmed the arrest of three other persons in connection with the incident, saying that investigations are in top gear on the incident.
The police spokesman said the girls were smuggled out of their guardians’ homes.
Can someone tell me where we are going in this country?
