The Ondo State Command of the Nigerian Police at the weekend revealed
how a 17 year-old girl, Miss Tessy Obianua, allegedly sold her baby girl
N500,000 to a couple in Onitsha, Anambra state.
The Police say Tessy
fell victim of a specialized child trafficker, Mrs. Chibuzor Okoye, who
convinced her to sell the baby to Mr. And Mrs. Sunday Kalu, who were
desperately looking for a baby.
While parading the suspects, the
new State Commissioner for Police, Mrs. Hilda Ibifuro-Harrison said five
persons were involved in the case.
She said the police got a
tip on matter when Tessy’s father, Mr. Henry Obianu, who lives at
Ogbese in Akure North local government area of the state reported that
her daughter was missing with her pregnancy to the police.
According
to her father, Tessy ran away with her pregnancy in January last year
but later re-appeared in May without the baby or pregnancy.
After
more pressure about the whereabout of the baby from Tessy, she was said
to have confessed to one of her uncles that she sold the baby to a
couple in Onitsha.
The Police investigation also revealed that
Tessy was lured to Onitsha by her father’s neighbour in Ogbese, simply
identified as Mr. Jude Azuka.
It was learnt that at a time,
Tessy was declared missing at home, she was taking to Onitsha by Azuka
to Okoye’s house who helped her to nurse her pregnancy until she
delivered.
The Police boss said “through investigation to Onisha,
the police arrested Okoye, at No. 3, Tonny Olisa street Awada in
Onitsha, who specialized in child trafficking.
“It was Okoye, who sold the said baby girl to the couple at No. 8, Uzogwu street Onitsha at the sum of N500,000.
“She
claimed to have given Jude the sum of N200,000 out of which Jude
claimed to have bought clothes and shoes to Tessy and also gave her
N30,000.
“Mrs. Chibuzor thereafter forced Tessy, to sign an undertaking that she would never come back for the baby”.
Ibifuro-Harrison, however, urged parents to be wary of the antics of criminal elements, who act friendly around their wards.
