An undergraduate and 47 children have been rescued from a baby factory disguised as an orphanage home in Ile-Ife, Osun State.
The fake orphanage where women are being impregnated and their babies sold off by operators was sealed by the Osun State Government.
It was gathered that one of the women that was rescued is an undergraduate of the Osun State Polytechnic, Iree.
It was reported that a total of 47 children were evacuated from the building.
The facility identified as Oroyemi Elizabeth Covenant Home and Care Centre was sealed off by Women, Children and Social Affairs Commissioner, Olubukola Olaboopo, the police and other officials of the ministry.
Olaboopo said that the government received information about the illegal activities which have been going on in the facility for over a period of three to four years.
She said that despite warnings issued by the government, the owner continued with the crime, breaching the Child Right Laws, and this resulted in the closure of the building.
