The Lagos State Police Command yesterday disclosed that a 13 year old was among the recovered seven pregnant escapees from a suspected child traffickers’ den.

The Command had recently uncovered a baby factory in the Ikotun area of the state where about 19 pregnant women were rescued.

The state police spokesman DSP Elkana Bala, who confirmed that among the seven females was a 13-year-old girl, noted that all were found at Cele bus stop in Isolo begging for help from passers-by.

The escapees told the police that they were lured to Lagos by a woman whom they all knew as ‘Happiness’, who had promised to help them secure a job in the state.

Only later did the pregnant seven learn to their horror that they were camped in a compound for producing babies for sale, they said.

According to them, they all decided to escape once they realised Happiness’ bad intentions.
