OPSH intercepts baby factory in Jos

Operation Safe Haven (OPSH), the Special Task force deployed to restore law and order in Plateau and Bauchi state, said at the weekend that it has intercepted a baby factory syndicate in Plateau.

Speaking to newsmen, the Commander of the task force, Major General Rogers Nicholas, said that the group “specialises in producing babies and distributing them to other states in the country.”

The group was reportedly intercepted after intelligence report by the OPSH troops.

Gen Nicholas also said that “the group comprised eight men and three women operating in Jos.

“During the interrogation, one of the suspects said the group has a network spread across the country and they usually entice unsuspecting young ladies with mouth-watering offers and in other cases drug them with substances that lead to forced labour.

“As investigations continue into the activities of the syndicate, it is important for security outfits to extend its network across the states especially places where the babies are being sold, so as to apprehend those involved in the horrible crime.”

The OPSH boss also appealed to citizens of the state to always report suspicious persons to security operatives at all times.
