Mother sells two-month-old baby for N450,000

A 51-year-old woman, Rose Edward, is in police net for allegedly buying a two-month-old baby for N450,000.

Murtala Mani, the Akwa Ibom State Commissioner of Police, disclosed this on Saturday in Uyo, while briefing newsmen.

Mani, who spoke through ASP Cordelia Nwanwe, the Akwa Ibom Police Command’s spokesperson, said a homeopathtic doctor, Eneyo Nyang, was arrested in connection with the crime.

He said Edward, from Rivers State, confessed to have bought the baby because she needed a baby of her own.

Confessing to the crime, the mother of the baby, Comfort Effiong, said she sold her baby because there was no one to take care of her.
Effiong said: “I sold the baby because of help.
“I don’t have anybody to help me.

“My father is late and my mother is sick and I don’t have anybody to help me.”
Mani assured the people of Akwa Ibom State that the command would not relent in its effort to curb crime in the state.

He warned members of the public wishing to adopt children to follow due process.
