ENUGU—The
Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps, NSCDC, Enugu State Command, has
arrested a young woman, identified as Nkechi Isioko, from Mpu in Aninri Local
Government Area of the State for allegedly attempting to sell her baby for
N100, 000.
Nkechi was paraded alongside some prostitutes and pipeline
vandals. It was gathered that the suspect had collected the sum of N100, 000
from one Mrs. Blessing Egbo before operatives of the NSCDC arrested her and the
suspected buyer.
She claimed that Mrs. Egbo initially gave her part payment of
N10,000, and later completed the money.
She further confessed that she later gave back the N100, 000 to
Mrs Egbo after she was advised not to sell her own baby, adding that she wanted
to sell the baby because she needed money to treat herself.
Speaking while parading the suspects, the commandant of NSCDC in
Enugu State, Mr. Lar Stephen Zwali, warned pipeline vandals to look for another
business, saying his command had intensified surveillance.
He disclosed that the suspects were caught at Nenwe in Aninri
Local Government in the night while they were vandalising the pipelines.
The NCSDC Commandant further told journalists that though the
NNPC repaired the pipelines before it commenced pumping of petroleum products
to its depot in Enugu, his command had informed the corporation of the
development.
He further advised human traffickers and prostitutes to find
another business, 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, who also spoke to reporters warned that the state
would no longer be conducive for human traffickers and prostitutes.
He stated that the state governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, had
directed them to stop prostitution and illegal sale and adoption of babies.
