NSCDC Dismantles Baby Factory in Badagry, Rescues 28

On April 15-16, 2026, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) conducted an operation in Badagry, Lagos State, leading to the dismantling of an illegal baby factory. The operation, directed by Commandant General Ahm Abubakar Audi, was part of a nationwide effort against criminal activities.

During the raid, two suspects were arrested, and 28 victims were rescued, including 17 heavily pregnant women, one adult male, and ten children. Preliminary findings indicated that some victims had lost pregnancies due to harsh and unhealthy conditions within the facility.

Items recovered from the scene included a pump machine, six standing fans, two gas cylinders, a large cooking pot, five Android phones, four large mats, and assorted food items. Mr.

Adedotun Keshinro, speaking on behalf of the NSCDC, condemned the operation as inhuman and driven by greed, emphasizing the need for further investigation and prosecution of the suspects. The rescued victims were handed over to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) for necessary actions.
