The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) on Sunday said its operatives in Imo state along the Aba-Owerri Road, intercepted five pregnant teenage girls suspected to be victims of child trafficking in a “baby factory”.

The spokesman of the agency, Femi Babafemi, who made this known in a statement on Sunday, September 17, said they were picked up while being relocated from their hideout in the Naze area of Owerri to Ikenegbu area of the state capital.

He said the victims are, Chioma Emmanuel, 15; Uma Faith, 15; Divine Adimonye, 17; Opara Gift, 15; and Amarachi Mbata, 16.

According to the Agency, the girls, in their statements, claimed they did not know the men who impregnated them.

Babafemi said the Imo state command of the Agency has since been directed to hand them over to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) for further investigations.
