The Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps, NSCDC, Enugu State Command, has arrested a young woman, identified as Nkechi Isioko, from Mpu in Aninri Local Government Area of the State for allegedly attempting to sell her baby for N100, 000.
Nkechi was paraded alongside some prostitutes and pipeline vandals. It was
gathered that the suspect had collected the sum of N100, 000 from one Mrs. Blessing Egbo before operatives of the NSCDC arrested her and the suspected buyer.
She claimed that Mrs. Egbo initially gave her part payment of N10,000, and later completed the money.
She further confessed that she later gave back the N100, 000 to Mrs Egbo after she was advised not to sell her own baby, adding that she wanted to sell the baby because she needed money to treat herself.
Speaking while parading the suspects, the commandant of NSCDC in Enugu State, Mr. Lar Stephen Zwali, warned pipeline vandals to look for another business, saying his command had intensified surveillance.
He disclosed that the suspects were caught at Nenwe in Aninri Local Government in the night while they were vandalising the pipelines.
The NCSDC Commandant further told journalists that though the NNPC repaired the pipelines before it commenced pumping of petroleum products to its depot in Enugu, his command had informed the corporation of the development.
He further advised human traffickers and prostitutes to find another business, warning that his command was committed to stopping their illegal business.
The Chairman of the Committee on Child Adoption and Fostering in Enugu State and Archbishop of the Anglican Communion, Enugu Province, Most Reverend Emmanuel Chukwuma, who also spoke to reporters warned that the state would no longer be conducive for human traffickers and prostitutes.
He stated that the state governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, had directed them to stop prostitution and illegal sale and adoption of babies.

Jehovah Elohim have mercy on ur pple...
What next will they do to her? What she did is totally wrong and condemnable, but are we any better? We sin differently too. Besides it's her child. She can chew him/ her.
ReplyDeleteAbi?...
DeleteIt's even better she sell the baby than killing and dumping her...
I wonder o.
DeleteHow will she take care of the child when she's sick.
Am sure that child will still end up as a housegir/boy sometime later.
Not blaming her put the poverty in the land, its better than killing the child
DeleteThat's now a common business, it's sad,some people don't deserve to b called a mom
ReplyDeleteNa wa,she is heartless

ReplyDeleteTo her 100k is like millions. She said she needed the money to treat herself. Hmmmmm. May we never fall into any problem that will make us sell our concience,our soul n our heart all for cash.

DeleteChai!Kedu nfe mmadu amaanu na uwa
ReplyDelete**Som Baby**
If she threw it away na abuse n curse she for get...instead of u to kill or throw away pls sell to a rich ttc couple who wud give d child a better life.
ReplyDeleteTrue that!
DeleteAs a christian, i know it is morally wrong to sell one's child but what I don't get is what is the law's issue, what if it were surrogacy? This woman obviously cannot take care of the baby and have you heard how much it costs to adopt a child in Nigeria? You go through the so-called legal means and you are ripped off financially, to take care of a baby that otherwise would be without a family. Please can a lawyer intimate me on the law n legal implications of selling one's baby. At least she did not abort or throw the baby down the drain/toilet/canal/out the window.
ReplyDeleteI don't know her story or reasons
ReplyDeleteI won't judge her
As bad and heartless as it may
I don't think its easy for her too making such decision to sell her child
Times re bad
Pple also react differently
May God have mercy on us all
Lord have mercy
ReplyDeleteThen she should do it the proper way by giving up the child for adoption na. The law frowns at her method of disposing her child without a legal tender by parties involved. Surrogacy and adoption are legal means of getting a child. Both the buyer and seller in this case are culpable.
ReplyDeleteThanks for saving me the energy of typing all dat.
DeleteBrethrens,no one is berating her for giving her child away.at least not me.
But d problem with what she did lies in dat active Word.....that verb "SELL" "SOLD"

ReplyDeleteWhy indulge in sex when u know U can't handle the consequences of your action.
ReplyDeleteI pray God forgives her, me and even you cos we are all sinners in the presence of God.
Poverty is BAD.......
ReplyDelete...hohohohoho

ReplyDeleteDon't understand if it's poverty or foolishness...
