LAGOS, Sept 30 - Police in Nigeria's biggest city, Lagos, have freed 19 women and girls who had mostly been abducted and impregnated by captors planning to sell their babies.
Elkana said the raid had taken place on Sept. 19 but had been kept secret to enable the police to apprehend suspects. One of the freed women, who did not want to be named, said she had been impregnated by her boyfriend and told by her aunt that there was a job for her in Lagos. "After being in labour for three days, that was when police raided the place and took all of them. The baby came out weak and finally died," she told Reuters.
