October 23, 2021

The Police Command in Cross River State has paraded a suspect named, Blessing Okon-Etim, arrested for stealing a child.

Okon-Etim, who confessed to having sold her three-month-old baby for N150, 000, also confessed to have sold a newborn belonging to her mistress, the crime for which she is arrested.

Newsmen gathered that the mother of the newborn stolen and sold by the suspect died after delivery.

Okon-Etim, 23, was asked by her mistress, who was in the custody of the newborn, to take the infant to a relative, rather she got in contact with a middle man, who helped in selling the child to someone in Umuahia, Abia State, at N150, 000. The same middleman reportedly helped in selling Okon-Etim’s three-month-old child.

The Police Commissioner in Cross River State, Alhassan Aminu, paraded Okon-Etim along with 33 other suspects for sundry crimes.
