The police in Niger state have arrested a syndicate of human
traffickers that deals with the babies in Abuja, Niger and its environs.
The group sells these babies for the sum of N100, 000 and above.
The syndicate is allegedly operated by a staff nurse with the General
Hospital, Kubwa in Abuja, Martina Ohakwe who operates with her partner,
Kinsley Linus from Imo state.
The duo lure young ladies, expectant mothers, young mothers and their
babies in some states in the east to Abuja with the promise of
providing them with gainful employment and also lure young defenceless
girls with unwanted pregnancy with the promise of getting someone to
take care of their babies.
The women are camped in a house believed to be rented by Martina where they are taken care of before their babies are sold.
Before their arrest, the group had sold a seven months old twin
daughter of Ngozi Nwani after luring her with the promise of marriage
from Abakaliki, Ebonyi state. Kinsley gave the twin baby girl to Martina
who sold the baby to one Joy Opara for N400, 000 and the eight month
old of 20 year old Oluchi Agachi for N100, 000.
Speaking with our Correspondent when he was paraded, Kinsley denied
being a member of the syndicate group as he was only offering help for
the girls who wanted money to take care of themselves.
