Man Sells Son To Bury Father

Abia State command of the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) is currently holding a man who allegedly sold his three-year-six-month-old son to give his father a befitting funeral.

Kingsley Ubani, 25, reportedly promised to marry Chioma Onu, whom he impregnated and upon delivery, he took the baby away and sold him, spending the
cash on his father’s funeral.

A source said Ubani, a few months later, again impregnated Chioma.

“When she did not see her son, she cried out and the
police were alerted. They found out that the baby was
sold to Mrs. Nma Achumba, now at large.”

Commissioner of Police Usman Tilli Abubakar told
reporters that Ubani confessed to the crime.

According to him, the suspect sold his son for N260,000.
Abubakar said Ubani had been handed over to his grandfather for care and protection.

The commissioner said his men, following a tip- off, raided an illegal ‘baby factory’ on Umuobia Housing Estate, Olokoro in Umuahia South Local Government, which is believed to belong to Mrs. Achumba and
rescued 19 expectant teenagers.
He said the police had long been looking for the
suspect.

Abubakar listed some of the girls as Mercy Francis, 18; Valentina Ikediora, 18; Martha Joseph, 19; Tina Inau, 20; Oluomachi Friday, 19; Nkechi Eze, 22; Chidinma
Andrew, 19; Grace Bassey, 23; Ifunaya Chika, 19; Ibe
Amarachi, 18; Uduak Thomas, 19; Favour Sunday, 21;
Caroline Peter, 22; Mary Linus, 19; Gift Nwankwo, 22;
Ogechi Okoro, 22 and Happy Sunday, 18.

He said Mr. Chimere Sunday, alias Boyoyo, of Umuojima Ogbu in Osisioma Ngwa, was arrested for selling his two children in collaboration with Mrs. Uloaku Chinweuba and Mrs. Ugochi Alozie.

Abubakar said the police recovered one of the children,
adding that they would soon arrest the buyers.
He said the ‘baby factory’ had been demolished.

A Nigerian man has received 20 lashes after an Islamic court in the northern city of Bauchi convicted him of homosexual offences. Under Islamic law, courts can punish homosexual acts by stoning to death. But the judge said he took into account that the Muslim man, Mubarak Ibrahim, 20, carried out the acts seven years ago, and had stopped the practice. In Nigeria, homosexual acts are illegal under both Islamic and secular law and restrictions have been tightened. Earlier this month, President Goodluck Jonathan signed into law a bill which bans same-sex marriages, gay groups and shows of same-sex public affection. The new legislation applies throughout Nigeria. Most states in the predominantly Muslim north of Nigeria have adopted Islamic law, known as Sharia, since the end of military rule in 1999. Along with Mr Ibrahim, 11 other Muslims and a Christian man were arrested last month accused by the authorities of being homosexuals. He was also ordered to pay a fine of about $30 ...
