Abstract

The continuous discovery of baby factories in some states of Nigeria is a growing danger militating against curbing child trafficking in the country. The March 2014 discovery of a baby factory in Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State marked the third discovery within the state. It is based on this that the study sought to find out the role of the media in sensitization female secondary students of Sadiyyah Model, and Isolog secondary schools in Ifo LGA about the baby factory discovery within their environment, as well as assess the manner of information they received from the media on the discovery. Adopting the survey research design, 235 female students were purposively sampled, while descriptive statistical tools of bar and pie charts were used to discuss the findings. The study found that most of what the students have come to know about baby factory, and the discovery in Ifo LGA was through the media, as majority (51.4%) of them heard about the discovery from the television, radio, newspaper, and internet. However, the media coverage was mostly news reports of the discovery.
