A Nigerian orphanage has been closed down and its owner, a female pastor, arrested after allegations that it was at the heart of a baby-selling scam.

Police say the orphanage looked after unmarried girls during their pregnancies and then sold their babies on to childless couples.

Hospitals in Nigeria's biggest city, Lagos, were also involved, police say.

Fifteen pregnant girls and four babies are being looked after by Nigeria's social welfare agency.
