A 47 year-old female Pastor at the Divine Yard Deliverance Ministry in Iyana Iyesi, Ota, Ogun State, one Mrs. Udoh, has been arrested by the police for allegedly running a baby factory in her Church. The suspect was said to have sold over 64 babies before she was nabbed last Sunday by the operatives from the Lagos state police command who acted on a tip-off.

She was arrested alongside a nurse who assisted in the childbirths at the suspect's church. COAL CITY TV NEWS learned that the pastor usually refer complicated cases to the nurse whose clinic El-Shaddai Hospital is located a few meters away from the Church.

It was also revealed that one of the ladies in the story, called Angela, whose younger sister, a 17 years old girl called Good news Akpan, gave birth in the clinic and the suspect was shopping for potential buyers for her baby before information got to the police and they swooped on her.

The 47 years old Pastor who hails from Akwa-ibom State, refuted the allegation, saying she uses the church as a maternity home to assist pregnant church members for a token. In her words; "I have been a pastor for 13 years, I only assist my members during childbirths. I take delivery of 13 to 15 babies every year and i have handled over 60 cases so far".

On her own side of the story, Good news Akpan, the 17 years old young mother whose baby was allegedly about to be sold by the suspect, revealed that she was unaware of the claim that her baby was about to be sold. She told newsmen that she became pregnant in her home state of Akwa-ibom and non of her boyfriends agreed to take the responsibility of the pregnancy and she had to drop out of secondary school and come to Lagos to stay with her elder sister Angela, who brought her to the suspect's church right from when the pregnancy was still at four months. She said she had no plan of selling her baby even though she was not ready to be a mother at this age, especially judging by the fact that she is still single. She added that she plan to go back and complete her secondary education after nursing her baby to a certain age.
