Nigeria police thought they had wiped out the baby factory menace. That was until a 17-year-old was caught in homestead where he was ‘assigned’ to impregnate ten young women in Nigeria’s Rivers State. The boy was just a stud or a “breeder”.
The crackdown in Obio/Akpor last month also saw two women aged 30 and 40 arrested and 19 pregnant women rescued.
