LAGOS (AFP) – Nigerian police have raided a home allegedly being used to force teenage girls to have babies that were then offered for sale for trafficking or other purposes, authorities said on Wednesday.
"We stormed the premises of the Cross Foundation in Aba three days ago following a report that pregnant girls aged between 15 and 17 are being made to make babies for the proprietor," said Bala Hassan, police commissioner for Abia state in the country's southeast.
"We rescued 32 pregnant girls and arrested the proprietor who is undergoing interrogation over allegations that he normally sells the babies to people who may use them for rituals or other purposes."

“Cases of child abuse and people trafficking are common in West Africa. Some children are bought from their families to for use as labour in plantations, mines, factories or as domestic help.”

Thanks.
Another business opportunity I’ve missed out on.
Hey, now! Don't go on about people who have problems a hundred times worse than the ones that some present-day American Black folks are trying to get people to pity them over. How's an oppressed 21st century American brotha supposed to be able to gin up any sympathy over his condition if you keep up about these poor African chicks??
Reminds me of the old adage, "He can't see beyond the end of his own nose."
There is no end to human cruelty.
