Shocking discovery in Lagos! The Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC) has busted a hidden baby factory in Badagry, rescuing 18 individuals.
The operation, which took place on April 15, 2026, uncovered 17 pregnant women and a woman who had tragically lost her pregnancy. Ten children were also found at the facility, highlighting the severity of the situation.
