On reaching the factory, Uchechi was shocked to discover that only pregnant girls were confined to the building used for the factory but had no option but to remain in the building till June when she delivered her baby.

After the delivery, Uchechi was stripped of her baby and transported to Okigwe where she was given ten thousand naira to transport herself to Amasiri and to purchase some new clothes.

Angered by the development, her parents reported the incident to the police who commenced investigation into the matter.

The police spokesman explained that investigation led to the arrest of the suspect and a nurse, Gloria Ezenwa in Feziechi Hospital at Orlu which served as a referral centre to the baby factory when complications arose.

Igbo said police would intensify efforts to ensure the arrest of the proprietor of the factory identified as Madam Favour who is now at large.
