The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), Warri Zone, has uncovered an illegal baby factory operating under the guise of a hospital along Orhuwhorun Road in Udu Local Government Area of Delta State.
Chairman of the NMA Warri Zone, Dr. Djebah Bright, confirmed the discovery during one of the association’s routine monitoring exercises aimed at identifying unregistered facilities and tackling medical quackery in the region.
According to him, the centre was run by unqualified individuals and had four babies in its custody at the time of inspection.
“We were conducting our routine monthly monitoring exercise to identify medical quacks and illegal facilities when we discovered this operation,” he said.

The association promptly alerted the police, leading to the arrest of the facility’s operator and an auxiliary nurse who was found feeding the infants.
“The owner of the illegal facility and one of her auxiliary nurses were taken into custody by the police,” Dr. Bright confirmed.
He further disclosed that the rescued babies have since been relocated to an undisclosed orphanage in Asaba, where they are receiving proper care.
“The babies are currently safe and being looked after at a secure orphanage in Asaba,” he added.
Dr. Bright reiterated the NMA’s commitment to safeguarding public health by exposing quack practitioners and shutting down unregistered and unsafe medical establishments across the state.
