Cameroonian Woman Buys 3-Day-Old Baby For N1.2M In Nigeria

A  42-year-old Cameroonian lady who gave her name as Evelyn Atemkeng was, Wednesday, arrested  in Calabar with  a three-day-old baby she allegedly bought for N1.2 million.
Mrs Atemkeng accompanied by her 70-year-old mother, Anastasia Fambong, was said to have bought the baby boy from a matron of a clinic in Delta State into whose account she paid the N1.2 million.
Commander of the Cross River State Immigration Command,  Mr Samuel Ichoi, who ordered the arrest of the woman  said:
 “The lady came from Cameron on Friday without any sign of pregnancy but this morning (Wednesday) she was found to be carrying a baby and when my men examined her there were no signs that she just gave birth, so she and the baby were  apprehended.”
According to Igoche, the lady also claimed that in May last year, she was given some herbs at Okigwe where she “miraculously gave birth to a baby girl who is now in Cameroon.”

However, the lady who said she is a teacher in the North-West region of Cameron told Vanguard that she gave birth to the baby and that N1.2 million she paid into the account of the matron was for delivery and herbs she gave to her to aid delivery.
She said: “She (matron) said my breast would start producing milk in three weeks but for now the baby is taking baby food.”“I am married and my husband is in Cameroon but there is nobody to take care of me in Cameroon, that was why I came to Nigeria to deliver”.
The Anti Human Trafficking Officer of the Nigeria Immigration Service at the Calabar Port, Mrs Agbor Ojong Ogar,  said she took time to examine the woman and she does not have any  sign that she just gave birth.

She said: “The woman passed here on Friday, she left on Saturday and returned to Calabar  on Tuesday and was heading back to Cameron with a baby and when we examined her she does not have any sign of  having given birth recently.”
