January 24, 2025 NAPTIP Rescues Nine Pregnant Women from Baby Factory in Abuja

NAPTIP Rescues Nine Pregnant Women from Baby Factory in Abuja

The capital of the country, Abuja, has seen the rescue of nine pregnant women from a baby factory.
The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) announced on Thursday that its officials had rescued the victims.
The baby factory is located on one of the expansive estates in the Ushafa neighborhood of the Federal Capital Territory, according to a statement from NAPTIP spokesperson Vincent Adekoye.

Adekoye claims that the institution was raided after a concerned individual provided a tip.
According to the statement, "a suspected trafficking agent who has not yet been identified locked up the victims in a rented apartment inside the estate after recruiting them through an online platform."

In the meantime, a well-known Abuja bishop who sexually assaulted a member's daughter in March 2023 was found guilty and sentenced by NAPTIP.
He said that the rapist bishop was given a 20-year prison sentence without the possibility of a fine by a Federal High Court in Gudu, which was presided over by Justice Adebiyi Osolo.
Kenneth Duke, a 52-year-old bishop, is credited with founding a well-known church on the Dantata Zuba Expressway.

In order for his wife to enroll the 12-year-old victim in a skills-acquisition program, he raped her on March 6, one day after she had arrived at his house.

"NAPTIP brought the 52-year-old inmate, a native of Cross River State, to court for raping a 12-year-old girl (name withheld), who was his church member's daughter and was placed in his family's custody.""The defendant was arraigned before Court 16 on 02/11/2023 on a two-count charge for the offense of rape and intentionally causing emotional and psychological abuse on the victim in case no: CR/702/2023 Federal Republic of Nigeria vs. Bishop Kenneth Duke," Adekoya said.
According to Adekoya, Binta Adamu-Bello, the Director-General of NAPTIP, praised the judiciary for the historic ruling.
