Mother Sells Her 17yr Old Daughter's Baby

Seventeen-year-old Blessing Godspower, on Wednesday narrated how her mother sold her (Godspower) eight-month-old baby.
The mother, Onyinyechi Nwabueze, 38, was paraded by the police at the 'A' Division of the Plateau State Police Command.
Policemen from the division, led by the Divisional Police Officer, Mr. Victor Dimkpa, a Chief Superintendent of Police, had rescued the baby, Chiamaka, in Awka, the Anambra
State capital.
Blessing, who was staying with her mother at Rukuba
Road area of Jos North, was allegedly put in the family way by her boyfriend. After Chiamaka was delivered, Godspower's mother, who was not comfortable with the
development, allegedly decided to get rid of the baby.
According to Blessing, on July 19, her mother sent her on a phony errand in order to effect the "diabolical" act.
She said, "My mother sent me on an errand, but when I came back I asked for my baby and my mother asked, 'which baby?' She feigned ignorance and at that point I started crying and reported the incident to the Police."
Police Commissioner, Mr. Chris Olakpe said, "After the mother sent her daughter away, she (Nwabueze)stopped a tricycle and took the baby to the first receiver, one Eucharia
Anyaegbu. Anyaegbu transferred the baby to the second receiver, Rita Maduako, who finally sold the baby to 53-year-old unmarried woman, Grace Nnadozie."
Nnadozie, however, told our correspondent that after she applied to an orphanage home for a child without any result for the past two years, she sought Anyaegbu's help. She said she gave N500,000 to Anyaegbu for the baby. Anyaegbu gave N350, 000 to
Maduako. Maduako was to give N200,000 to the baby's grandmother.
But Nwabueze denied that she sold the baby.
She said her daughter was very wayward, so she decided to give the baby out to somebody else who would take proper care of her. She said, "How can I sell my granddaughter. My daughter is not capable of taking care of the baby and I decided to give her to
somebody who will take proper care of her."
Nwabueze explained that she lost her
husband in 2007 and since then, she and the six children she had with him, had been finding things difficult.
