Nigeria 'baby factory' raided in Lagos

BBC News

Nigerian authorities have removed over 160 children and teenagers from a "baby factory" and two unregistered orphanages in Lagos, according to this article from the BBC. Baby factories in Nigeria are typically facilities where "unmarried pregnant women are promised healthcare, only for their children to be taken away. In others, women are raped and made pregnant." Furthermore, the babies in these so-called baby factories "can be sold for adoption, used for child labour, trafficked to Europe for prostitution or killed for ritual purposes."
