One of the victims, however, claimed that the syndicate was not to blame for their pregnancies.
She stated ;
“The man is not responsible for our pregnancy. He only offered to shelter us at his house, pending when we were put to bed.
“He also promised to get a job for us as well as offered to give each of us the sum of N300,000 once we give birth, which we gladly accepted.”
