Grandmother Sold Baby For N200,000 In Jos

An eight-month-old baby, Chiamaka Obinna, who was allegedly sold by
her grandmother for N200,000 and taken from Jos to Onitsha, has been
found about one week later and re-united with her mother.
It was gathered that the baby’s grandmother (names withheld), who lived
at Rukuba Road by Grafitti Hotel in Jos had on July 19, this year, sent her
daughter, who is the mother of the baby on an errand and sent away her
other children apparently to pave way for her to dispose of the baby.
Thereafter, some women came to her house and she allegedly gave the
baby to them. Unknown to her, some of the neighbours saw her remove
the baby from her back and handed her over to the strangers.
When the mother of the baby who gave her name as Blessing Godspower,
returned and asked of her baby, her mother feigned ignorance of her
whereabouts, saying she must have been taken away by her other
children. But when the grandmother’s other children returned and
Chiamaka was not with them, Blessing raised the alarm.
This attracted the neighbours, who informed that they saw her mother
handing over the baby to some people. She denied the claim and the
matter was reported to the police.
However, during interrogation, the suspect allegedly confessed selling
the baby to one Eucharia, who had in turn, taken the baby to Awka in
Anambra State and sold it to one Rita for N330,000.
Rita in turn, sold the baby to one Grace for N500,000. The grandmother
was said to have told her interrogators that she was yet to receive her
share of the illicit deal before the bubble burst.
The state police commissioner in Plateau State, Mr Chris Olakpe said the
baby was recovered at Awka on July 24, 2013 through the intelligence of
detectives of the command.
He said that upon interrogation, the suspect stated that she sold the baby
because her daughter was not taking proper care of her and that she did
it with her consent.
But the baby’s mother denied knowledge of the intention to sell her baby,
saying as a mother, there was no way she would put up her baby for
sale.
