Osoneye was arrested based on a
tip-off, where she allegedly connived with her mother to conceal her pregnancy
from the father knowing his strict position for having a child out of wedlock.
It was further revealed that the
man who impregnated Onyinyechi had long been informed of the pregnancy but
declined to be the one responsible for it.
A source revealed that Onyinyechi
was admitted at Peninsula Hospital, Ikota, Lekki – Ajah Expressway, where Mrs.
Glory Ehinmi, 35, delivered the lady of a baby boy on 1 March, 2017.
The source further disclosed that
Onyinyechi when arrested had declined the fact that she was pregnant and sold
her baby. She was reported to have thereafter burst into tears on further
interrogations.
She disclosed that Mrs Glory
Ehinmi took the baby from her at the point of delivery and gave it to Mrs
Prisca Okocha, 45, her sister and the owner of Peculiar Hospital, Orile, who
offered Onyinyechi’s mother N250, 000.
The source disclosed that Okocha
thereafter contacted Mrs Regina Anyanwu, 59 who subsequently brought the
buyers, Mrs and Mr Ike Nwata.
Mrs. Okocha confessed to
investigators that she sold the baby for N850, 000 but gave the mother N250,
000.
It was further gathered that the
buying couples who were desperately in need of a child organised a huge party
to celebrate the baby’s arrival.
Mrs. Nwata was reported to have
stayed away from the residence of his husband while the search of a baby
lasted.
Onyinyechi could not be
interviewed as she wept all through the period of the investigation.
Mrs. Ehinmi on interview
disclosed that what she did Onyinyechi was a favour. She added that the
concealment was enough to suffocate the baby.
She pointed out that she enrolled
her for antenatal and fed her till she was delivered of the baby.
Efforts to arrest the man who
impregnated Onyinyechi, her mother and father proved abortive as they were
reported to be on the run.
The baby has been handed over to
the Lagos State Ministry of Women Affairs while the five suspects had been
transferred to Gender Office, State Headquarters, Ikeja for further
investigations
A 22-year-old lady has told the Lagos Police the reason she sold her baby for N250, 000 to
Mr & Mrs Ike Nwata, a couple in the
state.
