A
mother of four, Nkechi Obi, aged 25 was arrested when she tried to sell a
one-week-old baby boy, stolen in Onitsha, Anambra State, to a barren woman in
Lagos.
The
suspect, who claimed to be a farmer and an apprentice in Onitsha, said she was
on her way to hand over the baby to the buyer at Cele Bus Stop, along the
Oshodi/Apapa Express-way, when she was apprehended.
It
was gathered that the biological mother of the baby ran away from home when she
found out she was pregnant.
Trouble
started for the suspect after the driver of the vehicle she chartered from
Asaba, Delta State, became suspicious when he observed that despite the baby’s uncontrollably
cry throughout the 6 hour journey to Lagos, the suspect never breastfed the
baby.
