Four women are now assisting the
Anambra State Police Command to unveil
the mystery behind the sale of a two-
month-old baby girl for N625,000 to a
person living in Enugu, after being
cleverly whisked from her mother at
Nnewi, Anambra State.
Three of the women were arrested by the
police from Ogigi Police Station, Idemili
North Local Government Area of
Anambra State and were allegedly
accused of selling the baby while the
forth one was buying the baby.
The Nigerian Tribune gathered that the
alleged buyer admitted buying the baby,
saying that she needed the baby to look
after her when she gets old.According to
her,
“I have a male-child but I want a female
child as female children take care of their
parents more than male”
When asked whether the husband was
aware of the plan to purchase the baby,
she said: “he was aware and supported
me and asked me to carry on”
The Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in
charge of the Ogidi Police Station, Mr
Hassan Musa, told newsmen that the
stolen baby had been recovered and that
she is in police custody while effort is
being intensified to get the real and
biological mother of the baby.
He expressed satisfaction with the
confessional statements of those arrested,
adding that two of the women who were
said to have sold the baby were based in
Abatete and Onitsha and that the police
had moved to Enugu to get the baby from
the buyer.
Musa told newsmen that the next action
is to move to Nnewi to look for the
mother of the baby and concluded that it
was on a tip-off that the police arrested
the seller when they were waiting for the
buyer to come from Enugu.
