Nollywood drama series Baby Farm has proven to be a hit on Netflix, and is currently one of the top 10 most-watched programmes on the streamer in the UK.
But, with more and more viewers coming to the series, many are wondering whether it has any basis in real life, or whether it is telling a purely fictional story.
Read on for everything you need to know about the inspiration for Netflix drama Baby Farm.
What is Baby Farm about?
The central character, Adanna, is played by Rita Dominic, while the cast also includes Joseph Benjamin, Onyinye Odokoro, Genoveva Umeh, Langley Kirkwood and Jenny Stead.
Is Baby Farm based on a true story?
The specific story told in Baby Farm is fictional, with no truth believed to behind the specific events shown, and the characters not being based on real people.
Mo Abudu, the boss of EbonyLife, the company behind the series, told Deadline: "Bringing Baby Farm to life has been an intense and deeply important journey.
"With breathtaking visuals, a gripping narrative and an outstanding cast and crew, Baby Farm will keep audiences on the edge of their seats while sparking vital conversations. We can’t wait for the world to experience it."
"It’s a gripping, cinematic journey into a world few dare to explore. Yet, within the shadows, there is light – because storytelling has the power to reveal, to challenge, and to inspire change.
Over the years, there have been multiple reports of so-called "baby factories" across Nigeria being raided. Like in the series, stories have been reported of unmarried pregnant women being promised healthcare, only for their children to be taken away.
The BBC has reported that, in other cases, women have been raped and made pregnant, and the babies have subsequently been sold for adoption, used for child labour, trafficked to Europe for prostitution or killed for ritual purposes.
"This phenomenon is prevalent in many parts of Nigeria and has been previously reported in the states of Abia, Lagos and Ebonyi.
"The victims are extremely vulnerable women and girls, who are trafficked or coerced to these places. They are held against their will, raped, forced to carry pregnancies and then have their babies sold to profit their exploiters."
