Oshogbo in Osun state was the stage for child trafficking and sale involving an 18-month-old baby. The child was maliciously kidnapped from his mother and sold. The suspects of this ungodly crime were paraded at the police headquarters in Osogbo on Thursday by the Commissioner of Police in Osun State, Mr. Fimihan Adeoye.

In an unfortunate twist of fate, a clergyman, the Rev. Father Chike Ejiofor, who heads Our Lady of Fatima parish in Woliwo, Onitsha, Anambra State, is neck deep in the saga of the child theft and trafficking.

Reports have it that 28-year-old Joy Esu enrolled with mother of 18-month-old Abdullahi Azeez at her shop in Osogbo as an apprentice tailor, but two days after resumption as apprentice, Joy Esu, kidnapped young Abdullahi Azeez when his mother asked Joy to look after him as she went to the market, Joy Esu was said to have given the 18-month-old to her boyfriend Sydney Onwuka. Onwuka was said to have sold the same child to Maxwell Agu at his purported government registered orphanage in Orlu, in Imo state at the sum of N200,000 (Two Hundred Thousand Naira).

The unfortunate Rev. Father Chike Ejiofor, became involved in this unwholesome business when one of his widowed parishioners, a certain Elizabeth, told him about her desire to adopt a male child as she already had five grown daughters and no male child. The clergyman referred the parishioner to Maxwell Agu’s orphanage, after all, arrangements between Agu and Elizabeth were concluded, Elizabeth insisted on the Rev. Fathers involvement due to the sum of money involved, she then paid N750,000 (Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira) to Rev. Father Ejiofor, which the Rev. Father paid to Agu.
