As incidents of child trafficking continue to
rage in Abia State, the state command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence
Corps said it recently rescued over 80 pregnant girls from child traffickers in
the state.
Disclosing this at
Umuahia during a courtesy call on the Abia State governor, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu,
the new commandant of the NSCDC, Abia State command, Dr Benito Eze, said they
would not relent until the illegal and inhuman trade was stamped out from the state.
It could be recalled
that a particular woman who uses her maternity as “baby factory” where pregnant
teenagers are kept till they were delivered of their babies, who are allegedly
either given out on illegal adoption or out right sale ,have had her maternity
raided and the girls rescued.
But the public is said
to be worried that the same woman who had been variously said to have escaped
arrest soon returns to her base and carries out her illegal trade only to be
raided again and her victims rescued and she escaped as usual.
