“The suspect further explained in details, how he moved the day old baby to Abia State where he sold her to the owner of a baby factory located at Obehi, Okwa West in Abia State at the rate of sum of Seven Hundred Thousand Naira (N700,000.00).

“Investigation activity was extended to Abia State and in the process of a coordinated raid on the baby factory, a female suspect identified as Popoola Bunmi and four other accomplices whose names are Chinwedu Peter, Chidinma Blessing, Chuckwu Christopher, and Favour Chukwu were all apprehended in connection with the criminal activity.”

The Police spokesman said bundle of new birth certificates and some equipment for baby delivery were recovered from the factory.

He said that the suspects as at the time of apprehension were unable to give any satisfactory explanation about the parentage of the babies recovered from the factory.

The suspect (Monday) said he decided to sell the baby because he cannot afford to take care of his teenage daughter and the baby.

Monday said he used part of the money he collected to rent a shop and buy materials for sale.

The teenage mother (Sarah) said she was not aware that her father wanted to sell the baby.

She said that her dad only told her that he wanted to give the baby to someone who can nurture and return the baby after two years.

The suspected buyer of the baby, Favor Chukwuka, said she bought the baby following request from a childless couple (name withheld), saying she was giving N50,000 as her share for the job. (The Nation/vitalnewsngr.com)
