The suspects were detained in response to information that Christiana Iyama, who resides at No. 4 Ibrahim Famuyiwa Street, Agbado, Ogun State, is running a baby factory at the aforementioned address.

She reportedly used to harbour young girls and hire men to impregnate them, after which she would collect the baby on delivery and sell it to her interested customers.
