The Ondo State Command of the Nigeria
Police at the weekend paraded a nurse, Mrs Chibuzor Okoye, for selling a
baby belonging to a 17- year-old girl, Miss Tessy Obianua, to a couple
in Onitsha, Anambra State, for the sum of N500,000.
The State Commissioner for Police, Mrs.
Hilda Ibifuro-Harrison, who paraded the nurse and the teenage mother at
the Command Headquarters located on Igbatoro Road, Akure, said five
persons were involved in the case.
According to him, Tessy fell a victim of
a specialized child trafficker, Mrs. Chibuzor Okoye, who convinced her
to sell the baby to Mr. and Mrs. Sunday Kalu, who were desperately
looking for a baby.
She said the police got a tip about the
matter when Tessy’s father, Mr. Henry Obianu, who lives at Ogbese in
Akure North Local Government Area of the state reported that her
daughter was missing with her pregnancy to the police.
