Mother of 11 caught for attempting to sell two sons N1.8m, blames hardship

A 38-year-old woman identified as Chinyere Chukwu has blamed the failed attempt to sell two of her sons for the sum of N1.8m on the “economic hardship in the country.”

Chukwu, who hails from Okija in Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State, was said to have connived with her 17-year-old daughter, identified as Joy Chukwu, to sell off her two sons, according to the Anambra State Ministry of Women and Social Welfare before their apprehension.

The state Commissioner for Women and Social Welfare, Ify Obinabo, led some security operatives to arrest the suspects late on Tuesday, after posing as a buyer for the children when information of the alleged transaction got to the ministry.

Chukwu, while being interrogated, further explained that she had 11 kids and decided to sell two of them when she could not cater to them.
