Foxnews.com reported a tragic story this weekend about the trafficking in children in Nigeria, where children are tragically treated as commodities to be bought and sold:

Police raids have revealed an alleged network of baby "farms" or "factories" in Nigeria, forcing a new look at the scope of human trafficking in the country.

At a hospital in Enugu, a large city in Nigeria's southeast, 20 teenage girls were rescued in May in a police swoop on what was believed to be one of the largest infant trafficking rings in the west African country.

The two-story building on a dusty street in Enugu's teeming Uwani district now stands deserted, shutters down.

Neighbors had long found something bizarre about the establishment, where there was virtually no activity during the day, they said.

The doctor in charge, who is now on trial, reportedly lured teenagers with unwanted pregnancies by offering to help with abortion.

They would be locked up there until they gave birth, whereupon they would be forced to give up their babies for a token fee of around $170.

The babies would then be sold to buyers for anything between $2500-$3800 each, according to a state agency fighting human trafficking in Nigeria, the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP).
