Parents blame hardship for sale of 2-day-old baby daughter

Parents blame hardship for sale of 2-day-old baby daughter

According to Happiness, the nurse who delivered her of the baby was the one who connected them to the lady who helped them to sell the baby for the sum of N300,000.

One Nkemakolam Ugorji, and his wife, Happiness, have been arrested for reportedly selling their two-day-old baby girl in Isiala Ngwa, Abia State.

Punchng reports that the 35-year-old father and his wife who have been married for seven years, already share four kids.

They reportedly revealed that they realised their inability to care for the fifth child, which was the reason they decided to give her away to foster parents.

Happiness said, “My husband and I decided to sell our baby because of hardship. We have four children and my husband is not working.

“When I was pregnant, there was no money for me to go for antenatal and feeding was even a problem for us. That was why we decided to sell our baby.”

According to Happiness, the nurse who delivered her of the baby was the one who connected them to the lady who helped them to sell the baby for the sum of N300,000.

Identified as Nma, their accomplice said that the couple had approached her to help them put the baby up for adoption with foster parents who could take care of the baby.

Nma disclosed that she invited one pastor who was childless for 28 years, to adopt the baby.

The pastor is said to have paid the sum.
