Aged between 15 and 17 years, the girls were locked up and used to produce babies, said Abia state's police chief.

...says their investigations show that babies are sold for up to $6,400 (£3,900) each, depending on the sex of the baby.

I don't even...seriously.

I read that in Swedish newspaper as well yesterday.
It is really ... well like you i can't find the words to describe this vileness.

It makes the scammers look like nice people in comparison.

This is terrible. I also pity the policemen who had to deal with it.

Economic fraud = scamming? Doesn't sound that way.

To me economic fraud sounds more like abusing taxes etc. or not?

It's probably a general term for financial crime in general, their EFCC's remit includes "economic and financial crimes".

Like it or not, 419ers are effectively a massive exporter of services and make up a very significant part of the economy.

After reading that, I'm having trouble keeping my lunch down.

Unfortunately in many areas of the world, human life has no value.

LAGOS, June 1, 2011 (AFP) - Nigerian police have raided a home allegedly being used to force teenage girls to have babies that were then offered for sale for trafficking or other purposes, authorities said on Wednesday.

"We stormed the premises of the Cross Foundation in Aba three days ago following a report that pregnant girls aged between 15 and 17 are being made to make babies for the proprietor," said Bala Hassan, police commissioner for Abia state in the country's southeast.

"We rescued 32 pregnant girls and arrested the proprietor who is undergoing interrogation over allegations that he normally sells the babies to people who may use them for rituals or other purposes."

Some of the girls told police they had been offered to sell their babies for between 25,000 and 30,000 naira (192 dollars) depending on the sex of the baby.

The babies would then be sold to buyers for anything from 300,000 naira to one million naira (1,920 and 6,400 dollars) each, according to a state agency fighting human trafficking in Nigeria, the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP).

Hassan said the owner of the "illegal baby factory" is likely to face child abuse and human trafficking charges. Buying or selling of babies is illegal in Nigeria and can carry a 14-year jail term.

"We have so many cases going on in court right now," said Okoronkwo.

Cases of child abuse and people trafficking are common in West Africa. Some children are bought from their families to for use as labour in plantations, mines, factories or as domestic help.

Others are sold into prostitution while a few are either killed or tortured in black magic rituals. NAPTIP says it has also seen a trend of illegal adoption.

"There is a problem of illict adoption and people not knowing the right way to adopt children," said Okoronkwo.

Them money rituals again ... tsch.

As part of my mass baiting of lads i sent out an invitation to supply fresh human head and human amu for a ritual. I got a lot of good abuses and threats back, but unsettlingly a couple of lads told me they were really interested in getting into these jobs, and one settled on a budgetary price of 3,000 Naira (About £12) for a fresh human head. I didn't want to risk him actually going off and collecting a head for me, so I told him I'd let him know. and left him alone.

Money rituals should, from what I have read, involve a sacrifice of someone important to the ritualist: ie, a child or close relative.

I guess as with so many other things these lads are all about shortcuts, and there are those who will cash in. Horrible stuff, this.

I don't know which is stronger: My anger or my sadness.

A guy here, killed his aunt, and sold her eyes, voice box and vagina for €30. I'll admit that it happens so often I'm kinda desensitized to human sacrifice.

But the 'farming' part really shook me, it's like as humans we have this need to up the ante all the time.

@Boris, i cannot begin to tell you how true that statement is. I read about many of these daily. It is disgusting!

Ugh...this makes me sick to my stomach. Is it bad to want someone to spare humanity this blight of criminals and offer a bullet to their head, rather than 14 years of prison? I will pay for the bullet.

It's been in the news here too. Makes me explode with anger and feel endlessly sad at the same time. Sad

When I first saw the subject I thought they were selling the babies to childless couples, the way some other countries sell their babies to North Americans for big bucks.

But this is beyond comprehension. What kind of F'ing savages and ghouls are these anyway? Their behavior is beyond bestial since no animal would treat it's offspring this way.
