A grandmother, Anthonia Amos, who was arrested by the Police for selling her four day old grandson in Imo State, has said she traded the baby because of her anger towards her son-in-law.
Anthonia said she sold the baby because she was angry that the father of the baby did not pay her daughter’s bride price before putting her in a family way.
She made the confession while speaking with newsmen as she was being paraded by the Rivers State police command with two others who were allegedly involved in the crime.
The suspect alleged the baby’s father provided only N1000 for the hospital bills when her daughter was in labour.
“I was only trying to hide the news of the pregnancy from my family and my husband who would have blamed me for not bringing up his daughter properly. I was pushed into selling the baby to anyone who would love and care for him.
“I received N500,000 for the baby out of which I gave the nurse, Pauline Umoh N100,000 for the treatment and I intended to give my daughter N50,000 to take care of herself,” she said.
Officers at the Trans-Amadi Police station, who apprehended the woman, said the arrest of the grandmother led to the arrest of Pauline Umoh of Ukanafu LGA of Akwa-Ibom state and Juliet Obianwa of Mgbidi in Imo state who bought the baby.
Juliet Obianwa narrated that she was told that the baby is from an Orphanage Home and she was asked to pay one million naira to regularize the adoption processes.
“I was looking for a baby boy to adopt that was what led me to the incident,” Juliet said.

Whag a flimsy excuse. Mtchwwwwww😟😟😟
ReplyDeleteGrandma acted as she know reach. Pls they should fine n release her. Most of their generation still feel having a child out of wedlock is such a big disgrace.
ReplyDeleteBesides she feels the child would be better cared for with the adoptive parents rather than with her jobless daughter and shameless no good "N1000" sperm donor.
Nigerian govt needs to make adoption less complicated in order to reduce this types of illegal adoptions
No she did this for selfish reasons! Imagine selling your own grandchild! Height of wickedness I would call it! She is a disgrace.
DeleteThis grandma is a human disaster. What nonsense.
ReplyDeleteIf you are looking for someone to adopt, why not go through the authorized agencies no matter the stress involved?
ReplyDeleteWhen u wear their shoes, come n repeat this comment. D woman was clearly deceived.
DeleteMy family has worn the shoes, I know first hand the difficultly in adopting, but that doesn’t justify getting a baby from a hospital! Any adoption that has no registration or authorized agency involved is illegal. This is the ‘black market’.
DeleteAnd please, this doesn’t take anything away from what the grandmother did, which is very wicked.
DeletePathetic grandmother
ReplyDeleteGrandmother from hell.she has no right whatsoever to sell her grand child.
ReplyDeleteWicked grandma! Your daughter opened her legs knowing fully well that her bride price has not been paid; she opened her legs and accepted his oats.
ReplyDeleteSelling an innocent baby all for her selfish reasons 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽
Of course, did she train her daughter well? She knew that she and her daughter own the blame.
ReplyDeleteDid the man rape her daughter? Didn't the girl spread legs like mat for the brat to go in
and fill his tummy with baby?
Shouldn't a well trained girl close her legs till she is properly married, till her
bride price be paid? 😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏
Blame the women. Na today?
DeleteShould a well trained man be fornicating and impregnating a girl he's not married to?
@12:53
DeleteThe girls decide if fornication will take place, not the man.
The girls make the call. Otherwise, it will be called "rape"
My first thought was, what a shocking story. Then I started reading and trying to rationalise, okay she wants a better life for the baby, she wanted to be spared embarrassment, she gave the nurse 100k but when I got to the part of her giving her daughter 50k. I realized nothing to rationalise, she's wicked and greedy plain and simple.
ReplyDeleteGreed grandma🤔🤔😏😏😏
