According to Agboola Dabiri some of the babies and children were sexually abused.
It is not uncommon for Nigerian authorities to raid "baby factories".
In some cases, unmarried pregnant women are promised healthcare, only for their children to be taken away. In others, women are raped and made pregnant.
The babies can be sold for adoption, used for child labour, trafficked to Europe for prostitution or killed for ritual purposes.
Sometimes in February, Lagos police told local media they had uncovered a case where a pregnant woman went to a private home to have her baby delivered - only for the baby to be taken away and sold.
Speaking after the latest incident, Mr Dabiri, - Commissioner for Youths and Social Development in Lagos State, said 100 girls and 62 boys had been rescued.
"The children and teenagers rescued from the 'baby factory' and homes were placed at government-approved homes for care and protection."
