Kaduna State has banned child fostering and adoption over abuse by orphanage homes in the state.

Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development Hajiya Hafsat Baba said this on Thursday.

According to her, it was discovered that most of the orphanages were avenues for trafficking and abuse of children.

In addition, she noted that the ban will be in place until the system is sanitised.

The commissioner said: “When we came on board, we found out that people just turn their houses into orphanages and get these children, but won’t give them out for fostering or adoption.

“Rather, they use them as a business to get donations and that is what they capitalise on to feed their own children.

“We have also found out that children were being sold, so we felt that this is a very serious issue that needs our intervention.”

Speaking further, she noted that, “We wrote to the governor seeking approval to stop fostering and adoption because we don’t know where the children are been taken to.

“Some are being sold or trafficked, some are exposed to serious dangers; we even learnt that some of their organs are being sold.

“So, for now, we have stopped fostering and adoption.

“We will seek justice for those children and some of those issues are already before the courts.’’
