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.
