The Chairman of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), Warri Zone, Dr. Djebah Bright, Warri Zone, on Tuesday, 26 August, 2025 disclosed that officials of the association have uncovered an illegal baby factory operating under the guise of a medical hospital along Orhuwhorun Road in Udu Local Government Area of Delta State.
Bright, who said the discovery was made during the association’s routine monitoring exercise to clamp down on medical quackery and unregistered facilities, disclosed that four babies were found in the facility, which was being run by unqualified practitioners.
“We were on our routine monthly monitoring in our zone for medical quacks and unregistered hospital facilities when we discovered this,” Dr. Bright explained, adding that the association immediately alerted the police, who arrested the operator of the facility and one auxiliary nurse found feeding the babies.
“The said owner of the illegal health facility was arrested alongside one of her auxiliary nurses,” he confirmed, just as he also added that the babies had since been transferred to an orphanage in Asaba by the police for proper care.
“The babies are now at an undisclosed orphanage home in Asaba,” he said.
The NMA chairman reiterated the association’s commitment to safeguarding public health by exposing quackery and shutting down fake medical facilities in the region.
