The Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps, NSCDC, in Enugu State have arrested one Nkechi Isioko, for allegedly attempting to sell her baby for N100,000 to Mrs. Blessing Egbo.
It was gathered that Mrs. Blessing had earlier paid the sum of N10,000 as part payment and was going to balance the remaining part of the money which she did.
It is quite unclear how the NSCDC members got hold of the business transaction and made plans to arrest both culprits.
Nkechi claimed that she later returned the money back to Mrs.Egbo after receiving several advise not to sell her baby.
In relation to this case, 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.
