The 23-year-old lady, identified as Chinonye Oparaocha, was arrested by the Imo state police command for selling her baby boy, just 6 hours after his birth on February 2, 2019, at a clinic along #Nekede Road in #Owerri

Chinonye allegedly conspired with one Confidence Anyanwu, a 28-year-old nurse, and her husband, Amaeze Anyanwu, now at large. Amaeze carried the baby to Port – Harcourt, Rivers State, where one Duru Christian was waiting for him.

On arrival, Duru, in company of one George Iyowuna, met him, collected the boy and handed him over to a buyer, one Mrs. William Cynthia and her husband who eventually paid the sum of N850, 000.
