The Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps, NSCDC, Enugu State
Command, has arrested Nkechi Isioko, for allegedly attempting to sell her
baby for N100,000.
Nkechi had allegedly collected the sum of N100, 000 from one Mrs.
Blessing Egbo before members of the NSCDC arrested her and the
suspected buyer.
She claimed that Mrs. Egbo initially gave her part payment of N10,000,
and later gave her the rest of the money.
She further confessed that she later gave back the N100, 000 to Mrs
Egbo after she was advised not to sell the baby.
The Chairman of NSCDC advised human traffickers to find legitimate
businesses, warning that his command was committed to stopping their
illegal business.
The Chairman of the Committee on Child Adoption and Fostering in
Enugu State and Archbishop of the Anglican Communion, Enugu
Province, Most Reverend Emmanuel Chukwuma, also warned that the
state would not be a place of refuge for human traffickers and
prostitutes.
He stated that the state governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, had directed them
to stop ANY type of illegal sale and adoption of babies.
