"Amid concerns that orphanage operators are getting up to unwholesome practices with their charges, the authorities have removed 19 inmates of a child-care facility in [ Abuja]," according to this article from the Nation. "“It appears it is a big business in orphanages, which the government is expected to look into. It is quite unfortunate that people are now using orphanages as their own personal businesses," said Social Development Secretariat (SDS) Acting Secretary, Hajiya Safiya Umar. “It is bothering us that the orphanages in FCT are abusing the law, they are only supposed to keep the children only for three month and then give them out either for adoption or fostering.”
