    Baby Sold For N50,000 in Lagos Govt Hospital (Photo)





    A reg­istered midwife in the state government-run hospital is at the moment helping the police to unravel why she bought a day-old baby boy for N50,000 from his teen­age mother who was delivered of the baby in the health facility.

    Saturday Sun exclusively gathered that the 19-year-old mother of the baby, Chinyere Amechi had fled her parents’ house in Lagos for almost one and half years during which she got impregnated by her boyfriend, one Nonso Nnamba and ultimately delivered of the baby, which she eventually offered the nurse at MCCMaternal and Child Health Centre , Mrs Virginia Nwauzor who in turn took him to another woman, a 51-year-old member of the syndicate, Mrs. Rose Ekewe to also trade with.




    The deal, however, fell apart like a pack of cards when Chinyere returned to her parents as a prodigal daughter. Obviously glad that they eventually found their daughter that has been missing for months, her parents took her to a private hospital for medical check-up. The medical exami­nation, however, revealed that Chinyere had given birth. Armed with the medical report, her parents asked for the whereabouts of the baby but she told them a lie; that the baby had died and buried.

    Not satisfied with her explana­tion, her parents probed further and under pressure, Chin­eye eventually opened up to her parents on how a nurse at MCC gave her N50,000 to get the baby from her. She also alleged that she gave the money to her boyfriend and father of her baby who used it to rent a room apartment at Orile area of the state. With that, the matter was reported to the Satellite police station which had so far invited and quizzed the medical director of the hospital, while the trio of Mrs Nwauzor, Mrs Ekewe and Nonso were arrested and still being detained as the investigation goes on with the baby still missing.
