Woman Barren For 15 Years Buys New Born Baby Young Lady For 150K
Sad story!!!

A young woman of twenty, Miracle Kalu who was apprehended by the police for selling her new born baby has explained the rationale behind her action.

Miracle revealed that she sold the baby to Mrs Cecilia Okafor for N130, 000 because she took care of her when she was hungry and homeless.

She said: “It was frustration that made me to sell my baby.
It was when I was wondering about in Lagos that the woman saw me. She took good care of me during my antenatal till I gave birth in Imo State.

When I noticed I was pregnant, I went back to my boyfriend and told him that I was pregnant but he chased me away. He said he didn’t want the baby. That was why I left Imo State for Lagos. When it was time for me to give birth, I went back to Imo State where I was delivered of the baby girl.

“When I had no money to take care of the baby, I told my sister that I wanted to sell my baby and she gave me the go ahead. That was why I decided to call the woman (Okafor) to come and take the baby.

“But if my parents were alive, I wouldn’t sell my baby. They would have taken care of me and my baby. My sister has her own challenges too. I dropped out of school at Senior Secondary School II. My boyfriend and I used to meet in his shop. That was where he slept with me and I got pregnant.”

Mrs Cecilia Okafor who was also arrested alongside with her husband and two other accomplices said desperation made her do it.

She said: “Miracle claimed that there was nobody to care of her and that she needed money to take care of her asthma, and because I was barren for 15 years, I decided to buy the baby from her.

“After we had sealed the deal, she travelled to Imo State where she gave birth to a baby girl. She then informed me of the delivery on the phone. It was then I sent my sister and brother to go to Imo State to bring the baby girl back to Lagos after which I gave them the money to pay to her.

“It was when the people I sent to Imo State to bring the baby were returning to Lagos that policemen arrested them at Anthony Village area, which also led to my arrest and the arrest of my husband.

“I regret my actions. It was because I needed the baby, that was why I decided to buy it. My mates have given birth to three to four children and I am not getting younger. God should forgive me.”
