Seventeen-year-old Blessing Godspower, on
Wednesday narrated how her mother sold her (Godspower) eight-month-old baby.
The mother, Onyinyechi Nwabueze, 38, was paraded
by the police at the ‘A’ Division of the Plateau State Police Command.
Policemen from the division, led by the
Divisional Police Officer, Mr. Victor Dimkpa, a Chief Superintendent of Police,
had rescued the baby, Chiamaka, in Awka, the Anambra State capital.
The story was exclusively reported by PUNCH
Metro on Friday.
Blessing, who was staying with her mother at
Rukuba Road area of Jos North, was allegedly put in the family way by her
boyfriend.
After Chiamaka was delivered, Godspower’s mother,
who was not comfortable with the development, allegedly decided to get rid of
the baby.
According to Blessing, on July 19, her mother
sent her on a phony errand in order to effect the “diabolical” act.
She said, “My mother sent me on an errand, but
when I came back I asked for my baby and my mother asked, ‘which baby?’ She
feigned ignorance and at that point I started crying and reported the incident
to the Police.”
Police Commissioner, Mr. Chris Olakpe said,
“After the mother sent her daughter away, she (Nwabueze) stopped a tricycle and
took the baby to the first receiver, one Eucharia Anyaegbu. Anyaegbu
transferred the baby to the second receiver, Rita Maduako, who finally sold the
baby to 53-year-old unmarried woman, Grace Nnadozie.”
Nnadozie, however, told our correspondent that
after she applied to an orphanage home for a child without any result for the
past two years, she sought Anyaegbu’s help.
She said she gave N500,000 to Anyaegbu for
the baby. Anyaegbu gave N350, 000 to Maduako. Maduako was to give
N200,000 to the baby’s grandmother.
But Nwabueze denied that she sold the baby.
She said her daughter was very wayward, so she decided to give the baby out to
somebody else who would take proper care of her.
She said, “How can I sell my granddaughter. My
daughter is not capable of taking care of the baby and I decided to give her to
somebody who will take proper care of her.”
Nwabueze explained that she lost her husband in
2007 and since then, she and the six children she had with him, had been
finding things difficult.
