24 babies, pregnant teens freed from Nigeria 'baby factory'

[Swordsmyth]

Nigerian police have rescued 24 babies and four expectant mothers from an illegal maternity home in the southern oil city of Port Harcourt, a spokesman said Thursday."In a covert operation on Tuesday, our men burst a child trafficking syndicate at Woji in Port Harcourt where 24 babies between the ages of one and two, and four pregnant teenagers were rescued," Nnamdi Omoni told AFP.
He said the victims were looking "frail and malnourished" and had been hospitalised while investigations were ongoing to find those responsible for the facility.
Police raids on illegal maternity units -- dubbed "baby factories" -- have been relatively common in Nigeria, especially in the south.
The "factories" are usually small facilities parading as private medical clinics that house pregnant women and offer their babies for sale. In some cases, young women have allegedly been held against their will and raped, with their newborns sold on the black market.

Alright , WTF . Who are you selling babies to out of Port Harcourt ? So the old fishing settlements of Igbo are slavers now ? Back in the old days it was a base of operations to run guerilla strikes against the germans in Cameroon ( which by any standard is a lot of fun ). Place probably went to hell when the discovered oil in the 50's .

What's my reason to believe any of this story?

Is it because it supports a narrative I'm supposed to subscribe to here, wherein people in other countries are mentally incapable of understanding how to be decent human beings?

Yep.

You can close your eyes to reality if you want.


And there is no reason to think there aren't atrocities like this in America.

This is the same Nigeria where the supposed so many African men migrants have being fleeing to Libya and into Europe as "Refugees" makes you wonder if those Refugees in Italy Sicily are just problary criminals?

No Nigerians have stepped in to deny it so it is looking credible .
