Woman Arrested for Allegedly Buying Baby for N1.2m

This woman traveled to Nigeria without a baby and few days later, was returning back with a three-day-old baby. A middle-aged woman, Evelyn Atemkng was yesterday, arrested in Calabar for allegedly buying a three day old baby at the cost of N1.2 million. She was said to have bought the baby boy from a matron of a clinic in Delta State. “The lady came from Cameron to Nigeria on Friday without any sign of pregnancy but she was found to be carrying a baby and when my men examined her there are no signs that she just gave birth.
