23-year-old, Blessing Aluna, pictured above, has been arrested by men
of the Niger state police command for selling her one-week old baby for
N200, 000.
According to reports, Blessing who resides in Rimi Lokoja Local
Government Area of Kogi State, was arrested for allegedly conniving with
Oludare Jeprince, who was said to be her boyfriend and accomplice, to
kidnap and facilitate the sale of the baby.
When interrogated, Blessing blamed poverty for her action.
“Imagine me selling my child for money; that will tell you the level
of hardship in the country. I sold my own child for N200,000 in order to
open a provision store in Suleja at least to take care of myself and my
siblings.”
Blessing said she regrets her action.
“I have done the worst thing to humanity and especially to my own
child. I don’t think I deserve to be alive, let the law take its
course.” she said
Confirming their arrest, the command’s spokesperson, Muhammad
Abubakar, said the suspects would be arraigned in court as soon as
investigations are concluded.
