Imo State police command yesterday paraded a 20-year-old deaf and mute pregnant girl identified as Blessing Nwanbekee for alleged baby factory business. Also paraded were four other ladies also found at the same home owned by Chief Emmanuel Eke from Isiala Ngwa South in Abia State.
Briefing newsmen yesterday, the state Commissioner of Police, Austin Evbakavbokun, said that one Miss Ibuchi Okafor, 20, from Ihioma in Orlu local government area of Imo State absconded from her home with a nine month old pregnancy only to be discovered in the premises of the trafficker, Eke at Isiala Ngwa South, Abia State. He said that the lady in question had delivered and sold the baby at N500 000 to an undisclosed buyer.
Evbakavbokun said that the police who launched an investigation after a report of the missing Ibuchi, found four other pregnant girls, Nkasiobi Uchenna, 23, Ela David, 24 from Isoko Delta State, Oluchi Victor, 25, Isialangwa, Abia State, including the deaf and dumb waiting for delivery at the premises of Eke.
He said that on interrogation the owner of the baby factory confessed to have sold the baby delivered by Ibuchi at the tune of N500 000.
Evbakavbokun however, assured that the state police command would not relent till the child traffickers in the state and kidnappers are completely chased out.
