The Police Command in Enugu State has started investigation into the alleged selling of a baby boy for N300,000 from the state.

The command's spokesman, SP Ebere Amaraizu, made the disclosure in an announcement issued in Enugu on Saturday.

He said that the investigation started on May 3 following the command detained of one of the buyers.

Amaraizu explained that the mother of this infant boy identified as Nwanneka Ezechi, 30, from Akama Oghe in Ezeagu Local Government Area was stated to have been impregnated by a yet-to-be-identified man.

The police spokesman stated that Ezechi later vanished from house to an unknown destination.

“It was further gathered that in November, 2017, she declared that she had given birth to a baby boy but this was not disclosed to the family”.

Amaraizu said that when the family discovered that she had given birth and the whereabouts of the baby was not known, they reported to the police who arrested the lady.

The spokesman said that the two suspects had been helping police operatives in their investigations to identify the person whom Nyia had allegedly sold the baby to.
