Baby Factories In Nigeria And Its Coefficients: Examining The Law On The Crime And Its Multipliers
 ,
Abstract

What were once vices are now norms. This statement aptly and succinctly describes the prevalence of the crime of operating a baby factory and its coefficient crimes like prostitution, women trafficking, kidnapping, abduction, slave trading and rape among several others in Nigeria. It is opined in this paper that these crimes multiply each other in the sense that the prevalence of one or two serves as catalysts to the other or others to the extent that all are the causes and at the same time the effects of each other which leads to a vicious circle of causes and effects. The penchant for these illicit engagements which were once morally despicable is now becoming a way of life in the country and the alleged justification for same is that they serve as sources of income to ameliorate the harsh economic climate being currently experienced in the country. The income from these activities are also laundered as seed money for legitimate investments. The paper opines that no matter the garb they adorn, these activities are illicit and remain so as long as the law prohibits and penalizes them. The paper examines the law on these crimes and the nexus among them and concludes by suggesting that a strict enforcement of the Anti-trafficking in person‟s law would be necessary to stem the proliferation of baby factories in the country among other suggestions. The doctrinal research methodology was adopted in the writing of the paper.
