[size=14pt]Fellow Nigerians, have we become so inhuman? My heart bleeds reading this report. Has Nigeria really come to this end? [/size]

The police in Abia have arrested no fewer than seven child-trafficking suspects in the last one month, the Commissioner of Police, Usman Tilli, said in Umuahia on Monday.

Mr. Tilli said that the suspects were apprehended between March 4 and April 2 and expressed displeasure over the circumstances under which they committed the crime. He said that a 26-year-old man in Aba allegedly sold his six-month-old son for N350, 000 to enable him to get a travelling document to Greece.

The commissioner said on March 16, a man from Amaoji in Isiala-Ngwa South Local Government Area of Abia reported that his wife connived with a doctor to sell their baby. He said that the new born baby boy was sold for N300, 000 by the doctor who allegedly delivered it.

Mr. Tilli said that the doctor had been charged to court while three other pregnant women he harboured in his baby factory were used as prosecution witnesses. He said that a couple were also arrested for selling their new born baby for N200, 000 to someone, who was still at large.

Mr. Tilli said the command would stop at nothing to ensure that the state was rid of child- traffickers.

What on earth will force someone to sell their own child for any amount? Seriously where is our HUMANITY?

See what the love of Money can cause.

Is poverty this high in aba?

My people, it is shocking to say the least. If I had my way, I would engage one of these foreign investigative journalist to really shed more light on this darkness enveloping our nation.

In a sane clime, that this report made the newspaper should warrant an immediate summon of the governor by the House of assembly to explain why this should be happening in the Abia state. The house of assembly ought to enact a law of life sentence for anyone caught in this wicked act! Who knows, the baby that is being sold off may be the 'gem' God has sent to save Nigeria 60years down the road.

Remember, every child is precious and is a carrier of the destiny of a generation.
