The Abia State government has demolished a five-storey building in Aba, which house an Ezuma Hospital, allegedly used in the sale of babies. It was gathered that a branch of the hospital is located in Owerri,the Imo State capital, which was last week raided by the police where 16 teenage pregnant girls were rescued.
While inaugurating the committee, the Abia state governor, Theodore Orji charged members made up of operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS, Police, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, and officials of the Ministry of Women Affairs, to fish out all illegal babies' homes operating in the state.
He urged the committee to redeem the image of the state which was being stained by the ugly act.
He said: "It is your assignment to ensure that the image of our state is redeemed."
