EMBATTLED Precious Donatus Ogbonna, the woman who claimed to have given birth to seven babies in one year was, yesterday, detained by the police in Owerri, Imo State.

Vanguard also learnt that the seven kids have been taken to a motherless babies home in the town.

Sources told Vanguard that the Police stormed the house of the ‘miracle babies’ woman at Irete, Owerri, Monday evening and took her away to the State Police CID, opposite Government House, Owerri, for interrogation.

The Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Imo State Command, Mr. Linus Nwaiwu, confirmed the arrest to Vanguard saying the woman was invited for questioning.

Mrs. Ogbonna had earlier told Vanguard that her husband had abandoned their home and disclaimed the paternity of the babies.

She said: “He has not come home. He abandoned me and claims that he is not the father of the babies but I know only DNA test can convince him and bring him back.”

Mr. Ogbonna has been avoiding the press even when Vanguard was in Owerri to hear his side of the story.
A close friend of the controversial woman, Mrs. Evan-Ibeh Florence, who earlier hinted Vanguard of Mrs Ogbonna’s arrest said that she was instrumental to her friend’s visit to Lagos some weeks back which marked the beginning of her ordeal.

Assistance from Nigerians

She said she did not know that bringing her to the public glare through the press would create problem for her friend, adding: “I never knew it would turn out this way for her, all I wanted was to get assistance from good spirited Nigerians for her through the press.”

At press time, Mrs. Ogbonna was still in detention at the state CID, Owerri, and all attempts to reach her on phone proved abortive.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Ibe told Vanguard that a DNA test has already been conducted and that the result was being awaited. She said that a popular TV presenter in Lagos was instrumental to carrying out the test, adding that the result would be ready soon to vindicate her friend.

Mrs. Ibe said: “I just hope the result comes soon to prove her story because I know she couldn’t have stolen the babies. They did the test some weeks ago and we are still expecting the result from South Africa.

“They did it for six babies about three weeks ago, the seventh baby was done recently because they did not bring along the birth certificate with them initially.”

I hope she confesses what really happened, and that none of those kids were kidnapped.

why did it take so long for the authorities to arrest this woman?!

they could arrest her for THEFT/KIDNAPPING/BABY SNATCHING, and if these charges dont stick then arrest her for LUNACY for telling such obvious insane story about "7 babies in 1yr"!

Good for them

what a pity.
@if bn d story was true,wud av bn avn it in mind dat dis world might be comn to an end pretty soon, @d oda hand i jus dnt blv dis story for anything, 7babies in a year,
Dis is to say dat pple can go extra miles jus to acheive what dey want

the people who supplied the woman with whatever "materials" were used to get her "miracle pregnancies" should also be arrested since she clearly didnt do it alone.

Who didn't see this coming?

naija police andia propaganda sef!!

nah wha oooooooooooo

So are u guys saying it's absolutely, i mean scientifically/medically impossible for a woman to concieve seven children withen a year, huh

Yes it is absolutely scientifically/medically impossible for a woman to seperately conceive seven different children and give birth to them in a yr. The only way that can happen is if she had septuplets and then had proceeded to have the longest delivery ever known to man. Otherwise both her and her children will have to have had genetic mutations to the point where each kid grew to term in less than 9 months.

I say this not knowing what the womans story is. If its the first scenario then maybe, just maybe.

My guess is that she wanted to appeal for public funds under the pretence that she had so many to take care
of; and the money will start pouring in from sympathetic people including the president's wife, governors, NGOs
etc. Give me intelligence any day, my good Lord.

My only worry is why she had to stop at seven babies. She should have continued until a 'flying eagle team' is formed

Thank God, finally, she has been arrested.

It's very obvious the woman is possessed.

How can she conceive and give birth more than three times in a year? They should investigate her well to know where she got those kids from, if not, tomorrow now she will turn herself to a prophetess of child giver and ignorant people will be rushing to her for child miracle.

on average it takes 2 to 3 months befor it is even possibe to ovulate folowing the birth of a baby so it would be impossible even in 6 years talkless of one year

This is impossible but you believe the birth of Jesus correct??, or is that one is scientifically and medically possible

i dey watch oo

I don't understand you guys at all! Shouldn't she be presumed innocent unless proven otherwise? There's a woman in prison now who could for all we know be innocent of the crime she is accused of and there are 7 children somewhere with no father or mother.

What would it have cost the police to finish investigation before arresting her? When did it become a crime to have 7 children in a year? For what crime was she arrested?

I can't even believe that many of you support her incaceration? How did we get to this point in Nigeria?

NO, its POSSIBLE. . . . . . . . . if she has QUADRUPLETS in January, then get pregnant 1 month after child birth and has TRIPLETS in November then it will be possible!!!!!!
but to have one after the other throughout the year is IMPOSSIBLE.

When did it become a crime to have 7 children in a year?

definitely not a crime to have 7 children in one year.

after all, a man can have twenty children in one month sef- its not illegal.

however, a crime was committed by SOMEBODY OR SOME GROUP OF PERSONS if you claim 7 mysterious children of the same age and different parentage suddenly sprang up in your living room out of nowhere.
