He explained that the baby’s father, Chigozie, after allegedly conniving with his doctor, Musa Peter, and a nurse, Ezieke Chinenye, had sold the baby to another woman, identified as Chinyere Ezeobi, without the knowledge of the baby’s mother.

However, the whole thing got exposed after a fruitless search for the baby and the Police were informed after which the suspects were eventually arrested.

According to Police sources, the man, Chigozie, claimed that he did so because he needed money and did not inform his wife about the deal because she will not accept. And so, he decided to do it with the doctor and the nurse before they were caught.

SP Hundeyin said that the suspects will be charged before the Court for the alleged conspiracy and stealing but that will be after the conclusion of investigations by the Police.
