Are babies commodities? Why
should they ever be bought...?!
This woman traveled to
Nigeria without a baby and
few days later, was returning
back with a three-day-old
baby.
A middle-aged woman,Evelyn
Atemkng was yesterday,
arrested in Calabar for
allegedly buying a three day
old baby at the cost of N1.2
million.
She was said to have bought
the baby boy from a matron
of a clinic in Delta State.
“The lady came from Cameron
to Nigeria on Friday without
any sign of pregnancy but she was
found to be carrying a
baby and when my men
examined her there are no
signs that she just gave birth.
So, she and the baby were
apprehended”, said the Cross River
State Commander,whose
men accosted the lady when
she was boarding a ship to
Cameroon.
Investigations reveal that she
paid the money into a
matron's account but she
refuted the allegations,
claiming that the money she
paid into the account of the
matron was for delivery and
herbs she gave to her to aid
delivery.
“She (matron) said my breast
would start producing milk in
three weeks but for now the
baby is taking baby food,”
Atemkeng said.
Concerning the case,
investigations are still on-
going ...
