17-Year-Old Nigerian Boy Arrested for Impregnating 10 Women in Marathon Sex

Police in Nigeria’s Rivers state are detaining a 17-year-old boy for allegedly impregnating 10 women.

The teenager was arrested after Rivers State Police Command uncovered and shut down a baby factory operation in the Obio/Akpor and Ikwerre local government areas of the state, Nigerian news outlet PUNCH reports.

Four suspects were apprehended in connection with the illegal operation and 10 pregnant girls were rescued.

Police said the 17-year-old boy and a 29-year-old man named Chigozie Ogbonna were hired by the syndicate to impregnate the women through marathon sex.

The leader of the syndicate, Peace Alikoi, 40, would then keep the babies and pay the mothers a sum of N500,000, while some of the babies were also sold. 

Authorities acting on a tip-off raided two houses in the Igwuruta and Omagwa communities where the victims, most of whom were pregnant, were being kept.

They were rescued and taken into custody for further investigation. Police also recovered a Honda Pilot Jeep from the syndicate leader.

“All the victims confessed that they were lured to the illicit sales of children because of the need to meet some financial challenges,” Superintendent of Police Grace Iringe-Koko said.

The case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department and efforts are being intensified to track and arrest the buyers of the children already sold out.
