A female cleric with an undisclosed Pentecostal church in Abia State,
Prophetess Mrs. Ezelu (other name withheld),, is currently telling
police detectives what she knows about the sale of a two-year-old boy
that was recently rescued in Ondo State.
The female minister was among the three women and a man that were arrested and paraded by the Abia State Police Command for alleged conspiracy, kidnap and sale of a two-year-old baby boy, Master Prosper Light, from AbiaState.
The little boy was sold for N600,000 (six hundred thousand naira) but was rescued at Ore, Ondo State, while being transported to Lagos. The Abia StateCommissioner of Police, Mr. Ambrose Aisabor, recently paraded the suspects at the State Police Headquarters, along Bende Road, Umuahia. The police boss said a popular photographer in Aba lured the little boy afterpromising to buy him a balloon.
The boy took the bait and was allegedly abducted by the photographer, who quickly handed him overto his customer, a female restaurant operator. Also paraded by the police boss for the alleged crime were 38-year-old Mrs. Chinaza (other name withheld), a staffer of Bende Local GovernmentArea of Abia State said to be the buyer of the baby; 45-year-old Mrs. Anele (other name withheld), the restaurant operator, who contracted an Aba-based photographer, Nwaogu (other name also withheld), popularly called Ejima, for the kidnap. Nwaogu was also paraded.
According to the Police, Chinaza was intercepted at Ore in Ondo State while travelling to Lagos with Baby Prosper. Chinaza reportedly told the police that she was taking the child to one Ann, a friend of hers based in Lagos, who she said was in dire need of a child. Mr. Aisabor who paraded the suspects said he would ensure that people like the suspectswere exposed and brought to book, according to the law of the land. ¡°My advice to those who did not give birth and want to have babies is that they should rely on God because there is no situation that God cannot change.
They should not go into crime as a result of the condition they find themselves in. The law will take its course. We will follow due process and the four suspects will be charged to court.If the court releases them, I cannot question the decision of the court. Ours is to do our duty according to the law,¡± Aisabor said. All the suspects who spoketo Daily Sun gave various versions of their roles in the sale of Baby Prosper.
The prophetess, Mrs. Ezelu, who hails from Ngor Okpuala in Imo State, and was married to a man from Bende Local Government Area of Abia State, said that the only role she played in the saga was introducing the buyer tothe seller. Prophetess Ezelu said she lost her husband four months back and because she did not have a child for him, her friend, Mrs. Comfort Anele advised her to adopt a baby.
