The Abia State Police Command, has
arrested 23-year-old Kingsley Eze, who reportedly sold his 5-months old son for N250,000 due to lack of money to raise and train him.
Eze who agreed with his
girlfriend to sell the baby, was arrested alongside another child
trafficking suspect, Chinkata Chikezie, who reportedly sold his five-year-old
son for an undisclosed amount.
Eze said, “I am a mechanic. I
was arrested for child trafficking. The baby is mine; my fiancee gave birth to
him. .
We decided to sell the
baby because I wasn’t making enough money to take care of him and the mother.”
Chikezie’s arrest on the other hand,
came after his wife reported to the police that she
woke up on October 16, 2017, and discovered that her baby was missing and the
door to their room was open.
Punch reports that Chikezie was
handed over to the Police for questioning, by the villagers who apprehended him
on his way back home.
Chikezie however confessed that
he sold his son in connivance with one Kelechi John and Chikezie Ubabuike, who
have also been arrested, with the child recovered too by the Police.
