We Sold Our Day-old Baby For N250, 000 To Pay Off Debts – Suspect by CastedGist: 10:39am On Nov 18, 2018
Operative of the Inspector General of Police Monitoring Team in Rivers State have nabbed a couple who sold their day-old baby for N250,000 to pay off debts incured during wife’s pregnancy.

The family told Sunday Vanguard that they sold the baby to settle debt and relocate from the village to the city.

The couple, according to the Commander in charge of the IGP Monitoring Team in the state, Benneth Igweh, alongside the suspected traffickers, regretted their action, but stated that if they had money they would not have involved the act.
The mother of the baby, Chidinma Richard, 29, narrated that she had fallen sick during pregnancy and borrowed money to treat herself, adding that the husband is a wheelbarrow pusher.
Chidinma also disclosed that her husband, Benson, earlier did not accept her advice to sell the baby, saying he changed his mind after seeing the reality of their situation.
She said:

“I am from Isiala Mbano, Imo State. I was arrested by the police because I sold my day-old baby. I sold him for N250, 000 through one Ugonma. I sold the child because of our condition. I have given birth to four children. One died because of our situation. We are left with two children now.
“I never wanted to give birth to another child after two children but this one happened by mistake. When I gave birth to this one, I told my husband that we should sell him.
“My intention was for us to use the money to settle our debt and then relocate to Umuahia in Abia State. All these happened because my husband is not working, we have been living in my village and I wanted us to relocate.
“When I got pregnant again, I was involved in an accident so I borrowed money to treat myself and meet other needs. When they took the baby, I cried, but I had no alternative.”

Meanwhile, the prime suspected trafficker, who allegedly bought the baby from the couple, Mrs. Eucharia Jaja, 48, said that she had trafficked four children out of Nigeria within the last 12 months.
The mother of four said:
“It is over a year since I joined this business. One late Rose, a traditional birth attendant, introduced me into this business. She introduced me to Ikechi Nwayanwu, who is also in the business.
“The woman we sold the little baby to has taken him and travelled to Lagos. I sold the baby for N750, 000. I have sold about four children with the last one year that I joined the business.
“We don’t get babies every time; it is not something you get every time. My husband does not know much about the business because he is a tailor.
“What I do is to tell him to drive me sometimes when I want to go and deliver a baby. It is only twice he drove me. I am a nurse before I joined the business”.

I thought women so much have real love for their new born baby that they can't afford to loose or sell the baby?

Desperate times calls for desperate measures - most humans have the hearts to bane in tough situations just to survive.

An unruly nation is crime friendly.

Some are looking for the fruit of the womb while those blessed with it are selling off theirs... what an ironic twist of fate..

But on the flip side the babies are better off sold off to families that can cater for them than left with families that will breed them to become owo da boys on Lagos roads or amajiris in the far north

What's wrong with thing called Igbo's, everything is for sale, papa sell pikin, mama sell pikin, pikin sells hard drugs, pikin sells yahoo Yahoo. With all the 10% tithes Christians pay to churches, common simple welfare for members in need, is a big wahala !!!. As a little kid, I thought angels come with big Ghana must go bags to carry gods 10% tithes to heaven, until when I saw a Reverend father driving Lincoln navigator, oops. God needs not our money but love for one another. Let's assist our relatives with money not, enriching some dubious men called clergy men.

It's a pity, but I still prefer this than kidnapping or snatching a child from the mother

Both parents consented to this act and I think they should be free

Poverty have made so many people take decisions that ordinarily they won't even accept
