It is unimaginable what poverty can cause. it clouds your mind and your reasoning in such a way that everything that comes your way becomes normal and moral, even the prospect of selling ones five months old baby for N400k. The Lagos State Police Command arrested 28-year-old Okwuchukwu Ibekwe, who lived in Iyana Iba area of Lagos, for allegedly selling his five-month-old son to a child trafficker in Anambra State for N400,000. He said he sold his son because he was having difficulties in his trade and allegedly decided with his wife to sell him.

According to PUNCH Metro the Ibekwes sold their son to one Chinelo, who stayed in Ihiala, Anambra State and is still on the run, on December 17, 2015. It was learnt that Chinelo gave the infant's Dad N250,000 while the mother of the baby's mum was supposed to get N150,000.

However, when Mr. Ibekwe returned from Anambra state, he refused to give the wife her share, so she reported the matter to the police and fled the house after making the report. Okwuchukwu was subsequently arrested and detained at the Police Gender Unit, Ikeja, while police operatives also arrested Chinelo’s husband in Anambra State. The baby and Chinelo are yet to be found.

While being paraded on Wednesday, Okwuchukwu said he collected N400,000 from Chinelo in exchange for his son with his wife's consent. “Chinelo was to give me N400,000 for the baby. My wife was the one who suggested that we dispose of the baby to meet our business needs. “But Chinelo gave me N250,000 for the baby when I went to deliver him to her in Anambra State.

“When I returned, my wife and I quarrelled and she ran away for three days. I did not know that she went to report the matter to the police. She was concerned with her own share of N150,000. “I sell vehicle spare parts in Ladipo market. “It was a lawyer who called me that my wife had reported me to the police, and that I should come and see her. When I went there, I was arrested. “I do not know the whereabouts of my son. I did not know Chinelo would run away with my child.”

But should be jailed

The quest for money is so sickening!!

May God never bless your 'lamuschuans" with the results you desire, even with any other woman!!!

[size=16pt]Wickedness in the nation[/size]

The fact that this 2 foolish people dont deserve the joy of being a parent has being established, another established fact is that this cruel selfish animals deserve each other(that's what they have in common). The woman could have killed the husband for #400,000 first(if a woman can trade her own child for money,she can do worse to her husband)if she had the chance. Extremely poor people have been fortunate to raise would-be billionaires(these parents are just outright evil) The law should take it's cause. I really hope they find this 'Chinello' and the baby. SEE HIN FACE.....POLICE NO FIT SLAP AGAIN?!

Some married couples have been praying and fasting for Years just to have a child of their own and these two unreasonable fellows decided sell theirs for just 400K? With the woman said to be the brain behind the sale?....i tink maybe the son aint his husbands biological child...So, she kinda wants to get rid of him early enough to avoid scandals later.......IMO

Some peep like money too much

If biafra ever comes to fruition,that country would be hell on earth.
