LAGOS — Plans by a 25-year-old mother of
four to sell a one-week-old baby boy, who was
stolen in Onitsha, Anambra State, to a barren
woman in Lagos, has been botched and the
suspect arrested.


it
was her inability to breast-feed the baby that
set off the alarm, which led to her arrest and
subsequent confession.
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 arrested.
Preliminary investigation, as gathered,
revealed that the baby was stolen from his
biological mother, who fled home on
discovering she was pregnant.
Trouble started for the suspect, identified as
Nkechi Obi, after the driver of the vehicle she
chartered from Asaba, Delta State, became
suspicious when he observed that she never
breastfed the baby, even though the child
cried ceaselessly during the six-hour journey
to Lagos.
Not satisfied with her incoherent explanation,
the driver was said to have stopped at Oshodi,


where he alerted some policemen who
subsequently subjected the suspect to
interrogation during which it was discovered
that the baby was not hers.
Suspect’s tale
The suspect claimed that the baby was given
to her by her boss, whose identity she gave
simply as Ngozi, in Onitsha, to take to a ready
buyer in Lagos.
She said: “I was in the shop located at 2
Ourline Street, Onitsha Main Market on
Tuesday, when my madam, who I sell clothes
for, came and ordered me to go and change
into something better, that I was to embark on
a journey to Lagos.
“Thereafter, she handed the baby to me and
gave me a food flask and baby milk. She only
gave me the telephone number of the woman
I was to hand the baby over to. The woman in
question is barren. I was to meet with her at
Cele Bus Stop. The would-be buyer was
arrested.”
Report had it that the would-be buyer had two
female children, but opted to adopt a male
child due to pressure from her husband who
threatened to marry another woman.
Asked if her husband was aware of her
journey to Lagos, Obi who claimed to be an
orphan, said she had separated from her
husband, who she alleged used her as a baby
factory.
‘I was baby factory for my husband’
She said: “I got married aged 16 years to
Polycap Eze, who had no child from his wife. I
was brought in to bear children for them. After
the birth of my fourth child, he drove me out
of the house, saying I have fulfilled the
purpose for which he married me.
“I moved in with one of my relatives who later
introduced me to my madam.”
Speaking on her arrest, Lagos State
Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, said
when the lady was arrested, she claimed that
the baby was hers.
He said: “She claimed at first that her lover
abandoned her with the baby. Later, she
confessed that her aunt was a co-suspect.
Two other persons, who have connection with
the sale of the one-week-old baby, were also
arrested.
“We have kept the baby in proper custody
through the Family Support Unit. Further
investigation into the case has taken us to the
eastern part of the country where the
principal suspect lives.
“But she fled on hearing that we have arrested
Nkechi Obi. We will ensure that everyone
behind this case is arrested.”

Baby factories aren't necessarily bad as long as these babies are not used for diabolic and ritual purposes. Selling babies from surrogate mothers is a good thing and should not be treated as a crime as long as these babies find good homes and treated with love. If kept by their biological mothers they might starve or even worse fate..
