A desperate housewife who lives in Akwukwu-Igbo
community near Asaba, Delta State, Eunice
(surname withheld), has been arrested for
kidnapping a neighbour’s two-year-old baby and
selling the baby for N250, 000.
Eunice reportedly sold the baby to a woman in
Lagos who is said to have been married for 18 years
without a child.
Eunice got custody of the baby last Wednesday,
January 14 when her neighbour appealed to her to
help look after the baby while she ran some errands
in the market. Eunice then carried the baby to her
buyer and a deal was sealed.
It was revealed that Eunice disappeared after she
sold the baby; police however acted swiftly on a tip
from a neighbour who sighted her when she was
selling the baby and traced Eunice to a hotel in Ore
Community of Ondo State where she was
apprehended.
Eunice is currently helping the police to track the
buyer of the baby while being held at the state CID in Asaba.
The Police Public Relations Officer of the Delta State
Police Command, DSP Celestina Kalu, has
confirmed the arrest and revealed that investigations
are still on-going.
