The Akwa Ibom state police command have arrested a 51-
year-old woman, Rose Edward, for allegedly buying a two
month old baby for N450,000, NAN reports.


According to the report, the police also arrested a
homeopathic doctor, Eneyo Nyang and mother of the baby,
Comfort Effiong, for their alleged roles in the crime.


Murtala Mani, Akwa Ibom commissioner of police, disclosed this to newsmen on Saturday, October 22 in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom state capital.


Mani who spoke through the command’s spokesperson,
ASP Cordelia Nwanwe, said that Edward from Rivers state
confessed to have bought the baby because she needed a
baby of her own.


Confessing to the crime, the mother of the baby, Comfort
Effiong, said that she sold her baby because there was no
one to take care of her.


She said: “I sold the baby because of help; I don’t have
anybody to help me. My father is late and my mother is sick
and I don’t have anybody to help me.”


However, Mani assured Akwa Ibom people that the
command would not relent in its effort to curb crime in the
state.


He warned members of the public wishing to adopt children
to follow due process.

The arrest of Rose Edward and Comfort Effiong comes just
two months after the Delta state police command paraded
two suspects who sold a three-month-old baby to a Lagos-
based businessman for N500,000.

The suspects, a 43-year-old fake nurse, Uju Okonkwo and a
fake lawyer, Ezurum Joseph, who claimed to have graduated
from the Nnamdi Azikwe University, NAU, Anambra state in
2011 with registration number 39017, confessed to the crime.

E cheap o. For a whole pikin

Maka y now...
Just look at this poor baby..

I don't support this buh at least it's beta Dan abortion or dumping d baby in River to die..
let dem go n arrest dose ladies committing Abortions, let dem investigate the dead bodies of innocent babies found on Roadsides, Toilets, Waste bins, River, etc so they can get d PPU behind it arrested and leave this poor woman alone.

As long as she is selling the child to people who are willing to take care of him,
I see nothing wrong with it

too bad
