Anambra police foil alleged attempt of 21-year-old mum to sell her newborn baby

Operatives of the Anambra State Police Command attached to Oyi Divisional Headquarters, on Friday, June 19,  successfully foiled an alleged attempt by a 21-year-old woman to sell her newborn baby.  The police intervention followed a report from a concerned citizen, which led officers to a location in Igbariam, where the young mother and her newborn baby were found. Preliminary investigations revealed that the woman had concealed both her pregnancy and delivery from her parents. It was further gathered that she had left her family home in Imo State and sought refuge with a friend residing in Igbariam before the alleged plan was uncovered. In the course of the operation, the Police immediately contacted the young womans parents, who responded without delay. Following their arrival, the mother and child were reunited with the family to guarantee adequate care, supervision, and emotional support while investigations continue. The post Anambra police foil alleged attempt of 21-year-old mum to sell her newborn baby appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
