The Ondo State Police Command has arrested one Ada Clement for allegedly operating a baby factory in Ore, the headquarters of Odigbo Local Government Area.
The command’s Public Relations Officer, Mr Olayinka Ayanlade, said operatives rescued five pregnant underage girls from the illegal facility.
Police investigators said children were being sold from the centre, with female babies fetching N400,000 and above and male babies N600,000 and above. One of the victims reportedly gave birth to a baby boy inside the facility.
The statement read, “The Ondo State Police Command has uncovered a suspected baby factory and human trafficking syndicate operating within Ore, Odigbo Local Government Area of the state. The case, which was transferred from the Ore Division to the command’s Gender-Based Violence Unit, is presently under active investigation.
“ The incident came to light on October 21, 2025, at about 7.30 pm, when one Vivian Peter, a 17-year-old girl from Ikot Ekpan, Akwa Ibom State, who is presently pregnant, reported at the Ore Division that she had been trafficked from Akwa Ibom to Ore under the guise of being offered a job opportunity. Upon her arrival in Ore, she was taken to a supposed clinic, which later turned out to be a baby factory, where she met other pregnant girls allegedly being held for exploitation. She further revealed that the owner of the facility, identified as one Ada Clement, later instructed that she be taken to another hospital in Ore for a medical scan. However, she managed to escape and sought refuge at the Ore Division, where she reported the incident to the police.
“Acting swiftly on the report, operatives from the Ore Division in collaboration with the gender unit raided the said facility, leading to the successful rescue of five pregnant girls and a baby boy. It was discovered that one of the victims had already given birth and is presently receiving post-natal treatment at the General Hospital, Ore, while the remaining rescued victims are in safe protective custody of the police.”
Mr Ayanlade added that preliminary investigations showed the suspect and her accomplices had confessed to operating the facility as a baby factory, holding young pregnant girls until delivery and thereafter selling the newborns to buyers.
“ It was further discovered that the babies were sold for N400,000 and above for female children, and N600,000 and above for male children,” he noted.
The commissioner of police in the state, Mr Adebowale Lawal, has ordered a full scale investigation to ensure all members of the syndicate are arrested and prosecuted. Meanwhile, Detectives from the command’s Gender-Based Violence Unit are intensifying efforts to locate and arrest other fleeing suspects.
