After killing a new mother and selling her newborn twins for N3 million, a 25-year-old woman and two others were apprehended
A Magistrate Court in Enugu has arraigned three ladies who are accused of killing a new mom and selling her set of newborn twins. The three defendants, 39-year-old Aroh Ijeoma, Onyia Pauline, and 25-year-old Cynthia Ukorie, were arraigned on Friday, August 26.
The suspects, who were detained on July 26, 2022, by police officers working at Central Police Station (CPS) Enugu, were remanded in Enugu Correctional Custodial Center for further hearing of the case, according to DSP Daniel Ndukwe, the state police command's spokesperson.
Their detention followed the receipt of a complaint stating that they arranged to sell and actually sold the newborn twins of a 31-year-old woman named Chinenye Odoh and then caused her death by poisoning her food after she found the suspects had given her less money than they had received for the kids overall.
Investigations showed that Ukorie Cynthia housed the dead till she gave birth on July 5, 2022, and that Aroh Ijeoma arranged for the sale of the infants by getting in touch with Onyia Pauline, a nurse. Onyia Pauline brought a couple who purchased the infants at delivery for N3 million.
Ijeoma informed the deceased and mother of the infants, Chinenye, that the children were sold for N2,350,000 and then paid her the sum of N1.8 million, in contrast to this sum. She gave Pauline and Cynthia each N50,000 and kept the rest for herself.
When the dead did learn the precise price for which they had sold the infants, she sought the remaining sum, but it was later reported that she had consumed a possible poisoned maize Cynthia had provided to her, which had caused her death.
A new hearing date was set on September 5, 2022, in this matter.
