The Akwa Ibom State Police Command has arrested a nursing mother, Imaobong Udoh, for allegedly selling her three-day old baby girl.
Also arrested along with Imaobong were four persons for allegedly participating in the theft of the baby.
They are the buyer, Mrs. Regina James; her husband, Mfon James; the traditional birth attendant who delivered the baby, Mrs. Comfort Henry; and Mr Emmanuel Okon, a homeopathic doctor, who arranged the sale.
Commissioner of Police, Mr. Umar Gwadabe, said in Uyo on Monday that the father of the baby had reported the theft to the police, leading to the arrest of the suspects.
Gwadabe said, “On March 3, 2014, a case of child stealing was reported by Mr. Eteobong James, of No. 33 Urua Ekpa Road, Itu Local Governmnet Area, to the police, where a three-day-old baby girl was sold for N260, 000.
“Based on the report, the suspects were arrested.
“Mr Emmanuel Etim Okon, was the one that arranged the infamous deal and personally conveyed the baby from the point of delivery at Nna-Enin in Uruan Local Government Area to the buyers at No. 37 Church Road, Uyo.”
The police boss explained that Regina allegedly paid N150,000 to the mother of the baby and N110,000 to Okon, the homeopathic doctor, for his services.
Husband of the buyer, James said when his wife told him she was pregnant, he gave her money for ante-natal care, but was surprised to hear that she bought the baby.
He said, “l am a trader. My wife, Regina, told me she was pregnant and I gave her money for ante-natal. One day, she told me she was in labour and later informed me that she had been delivered of a baby girl.
“I did not know she bought the baby since she has given birth to four children, though three died.”
However, the homeopathic doctor said Regina brought the mother of the baby, Imaobong, to him so that he could take care of her during ante-natal.
He said Regina had explained to him that the father of the baby was not financially buoyant to take care of her.
He denied collecting N110,000 from Regina, stating that he only collected N30,000, which was the cost of delivery of Imaobong’s baby.
“When Regina brought Imaobong to me, she told me that the man responsible for the pregnancy was unable of take care of her.
“The N30,000 I collected from her was for the upkeep of Imaobong before and during delivery of the baby. I did not collect N110,000.”
The commissioner stated that the accused would soon be arraigned in court and warned child thieves to steer clear of the state.culled

ReplyDeleteWhat a wicked world we now dwell in. Thank God the biological father alerted the police. The girl may NEVER forgive her mother when she grows up and hear the story. They all have no conscience. What most women are praying and fasting to God to have. *SMH*
ReplyDeleteThere are some condoms as cheap as 100naira and postinor shouldn't be more than 400naira.
ReplyDelete#JustSaying
The woman who birthed the baby girl needs to be flogged to her senses.
ReplyDeleteYou sell your own child??????
God forbid!
After the pain of carrying this child for 9months and going through the pain of labor.....u have the nerves to sell ur daughter....God please find a place in your heart to forgive this girl...Poverty is a disease

DeleteThank God for the kind of body he gave me even after my kids. No excess fat, all firmed up, all natural.
ReplyDeleteWith me, plastic surgeons will be outta business.
Whatever rocks yyour boat.
Anonymous 8:05. Pick yourself up, learn from the failed relationship and don't repeat any of those again as much as possible. When u straff a guy, cook for him, be his partner, clean up after him and even help finance him small small something odd happens in his brain. Normally you would expect appreciation, respect n undying love but u get an emotional/physical abuser who then cheats on you or acts weird then u start to feel stupid. Pls dnt live with d nxt man n be his all. Live in ur own ouse, spend some week ends if u must. Long n short is : MOVE ON.
ReplyDeleteTnks hun. Ill do dat. Dou its reli hurting me.
DeleteI am going to approach this story from a different perspective...
ReplyDeleteThe mother is still a teenager and living in abject poverty, she has no means of taking care of the child and probably doesn't know who the father is. I am against her selling her baby and I would have preferred it if she had just given the baby to the Regina woman without a price, so that her conscience can be free and she can face her child anytime such an opportunity arises.
She obviously doesn't know the consequences of her action and its obvious she has no emotional attachment to the baby but still what she did is better than what some young girls in similar situations (abject poverty, no emotional attachment to the baby) would have done and have done... abortion, killing the baby at birth. some years ago, there was a story in the news about a young woman who birthed her baby in the bathroom, put him in a poly bag and threw him down from the 3rd or 4th floor. It was so heartbreaking. When I was younger, I recall seeing the remains of a baby dropped in a public place where people go to pour their dustbins, the baby was eating by pigs.
Regina's husband, living with a falsely pregnant wife and did not know... I hail you o! and comment my reserve for you
Lord have mercy!!!
ReplyDeleteSo Truth finally sold her baby.But,you should have just solicited for help through this blog na,haba because of your forming you see youur life
ReplyDeleteY do ppl stil fuck wen dey dnt have d bucks t live up t d aftermath of fuck? Abeg babes make una try t dey zip up joor! Sex is worth waiting for.
ReplyDeletenawa o how can Mr Mfon James claim nt to knw dat his wife wasn't actually pregnant n she bought the
ReplyDeletebaby I quote--
.
"He said, “l am a trader. My wife, Regina, told me she was pregnant and I gave her money for ante-natal. One day,
she told me she was in labour and later informed me that she had been delivered of a baby girl."
So in all d 9 months he dint notice dat dere's no body change n baby bump. Mschew, som men sef! Wot happens t being equally preggy wen ur wife is. I feel Mr James is a liar.
This is poverty at work ooo.....but all the same,,that should not be a reason to sell ur own child nah...
ReplyDeleteAnon 6;59am....if u're happy with d surgery,,,all well,,,,and i dont think u should be disturbed by the wagging tongues,,its ur body after all.....i just hope there are no serious side effects sha..
ReplyDeleteNigerians and jealousy. Tufiakwa,na so una go dey hate on someone that has what u dream of having or is doing what u wish u can do. One unspoken rule about life is that you can never have what you hate on or what you're envious about.
ReplyDeleteTnks 4 all d advice@bloglord nd odas 4rnds. I reli appreciate. He doesn't deserve me. I wil def move on.
