Anambra State Government Shuts Down Notorious Baby Factory Posing as Hospital in Umunya


In a decisive crackdown on human trafficking, the Anambra State Government has dismantled a notorious baby factory syndicate masquerading as “Mother and Child Hospital and Maternity” at 1 School Road, near Tansian University, Umunya, Oyi Local Government Area. The illegal facility was sealed on Saturday, July 26, 2025, following a sting operation that began on Friday after months of surveillance and intelligence gathering.


The raid, conducted by officials from the Anambra State Ministry of Health in collaboration with security agencies, led to the arrest of key staff, including a self-proclaimed medical doctor from Delta State, five pregnant women, and 10 other individuals. The facility was found to be operating with a falsified license and engaging in medical malpractices, including the trafficking and exploitation of young girls aged 15 to 21. Many victims were allegedly held against their will, forced into pregnancies, and their newborns sold into illegal adoption rings.


Addressing journalists after the operation, the State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Afam Obidike, described the shutdown as “a significant victory in the ongoing battle against child trafficking, human rights violations, and gender-based abuse.” He emphasized the state’s commitment to eliminating illegal medical establishments and safeguarding public health. “This operation underscores the importance of collaboration between security agencies and health regulators. We are determined to rid Anambra State of fake medical practitioners and criminal networks that exploit the vulnerable,” Obidike stated.


The operation was supported by the State Health Facility Accreditation and Monitoring Unit and the State Illegal and Anti-Quackery Taskforce Team, established to identify and eliminate unauthorized health facilities across Anambra. Obidike urged the public to report suspicious healthcare practices and issued a stern warning to operators of unlicensed facilities: “Shut down now or face the full weight of the law. We will not compromise the safety and dignity of our people.”


Several teenage girls and infants rescued during the raid are now receiving comprehensive medical care and psychological support. Authorities have launched a full-scale investigation, with suspects expected to face charges including human trafficking, unlawful detention, and child exploitation. The Acting Director of Medical Services, Dr. Ugochukwu Chukwulobelu, and other health ministry officials participated in the raid.
