Osun polytechnic student, 47 kids rescued from baby factory in Ile-Ife

A baby factory has been discovered in Ile-Ife, Osun State. The location is Oroyemi Elizabeth Covenant Home and Care Centre.

State government officials stormed the purported orphanage after
reports that women are impregnated and their babies sold. Olubukola Olaboopo, Women, Children and Social Affairs Commissioner,
ministry officials and the police sealed off the facility.

The official told newsmen that information available suggests that
illegal activities have been going on for years.

“We got several reports over a period of 3-4 years, of how the
children in Oroyemi Elizabeth Covenant Home and Care Centre are
malnourished, the environment very dirty and how some illegal
activities have been going on, more or less like a baby factory.

“We rescued 47 children; 10-15 adults’ girls were there. Those with
physical disabilities, among whom is an undergraduate of Osun State
Polytechnic, Iree, were among those that were rescued,” Olaboopo
disclosed.
