looking for buyers.more.....
According
to the police boss, Uchenna and four other suspects, still on the run,
stole the boy at gun point on August 21 at Ntigha Uzo in Obingwa Local
Government Area of the state, and handed him over to the girlfriend to
sell.
He said
Kelechi drew the suspicion of some eagle-eyed members of the public who
spotted her on August 26 with a baby who was crying uncontrollably but
she could not breastfeed him.
The CP
said she was arrested by the curious members of the public following her
incoherent and unsatisfactory answer when she was asked if she was the
biological mother of the baby.
“Because
of the suspicion, she was immediately arrested and handed over to the
police at Ugwunagbo Division for further questioning,” the CP said.
He
added that upon interrogation, “the suspect revealed that the child was
stolen by her boy friend, Uchenna, and four others and given to her to
sell.”
The CP
said the suspect also revealed that the baby was first kept in the house
of one Mrs. Love Chinkata , also on the run, before she collected him
to sell.
Police
said efforts were on to trace the biological parents of the baby and to
also apprehend other fleeing suspects in connection with the crime.
