According to Ayanlade, the suspect sold newborn babies for ₦400,000 and above for female infants, while male babies were sold for ₦600,000 and above. He added that one of the victims had already delivered a baby boy inside the facility before the police raid.
“The Ondo State Police Command has uncovered a suspected baby factory and human trafficking ring operating within Ore, Odigbo Local Government Area,” Ayanlade said. “The incident came to light on October 21, 2025, when a 17-year-old girl named Vivian Peter, from Ikot Ekpan, Akwa Ibom State, who is presently pregnant, reported at the Ore Police Division that she had been trafficked to Ore under the false promise of a job.”
The young girl reportedly escaped from the facility and sought refuge at the police station, where she narrated how she was deceived and brought to the illegal operation center.
Following her report, a police team stormed the location, leading to the rescue of other victims and the arrest of Ada Clement, the alleged mastermind behind the operation.
Further investigation revealed that the facility was being used as a baby factory, where young girls were kept until they gave birth. Their babies were then sold to individuals looking to adopt, with the proceeds going to the traffickers.
