"I have sold 20 children in two years" 22-year-old female child trafficker arrested in Anambra
A 22-year-old woman arrested by the Special Armed Robbery Squad (SARS)
of the Anambra State Police Command has confessed to having sold 20
children since she went into child trafficking business. Most of the
children she sold between N150,000 - N200,000, were kidnapped on their
way home from school. The suspect, Chinaza Onwuasoanya was impregnated
by her boyfriend in Lagos and returned
to Anambra State to have the baby after which she sold the child to a
45-year-old woman, Goodness, who runs an orphanage, which the police
allege was a cover for a baby trafficking operation.
Onwuasoanya sold her newborn baby girl to Goodness, in exchange for the sum of N150,000. On realizing that she could make easy money from selling children, she moved into child-trafficking. Recounting her journey into child-trafficking, Onwuasoanya told Sunday Sun, she said:
"I got into child trafficking two years ago. I have sold 20 male and female children to Madam Goodness who operates the orphanage. She paid me between N150,000 and N200,000 for each baby I sold to her. I got to know her when I became pregnant and gave birth to a girl on October 4, 2013. After I delivered the baby, a friend introduced me to Madam Goodness. I took my daughter to her and she gave me N150,000.00, to take care of myself. After that time, I decided to go into child trafficking by kidnapping children coming back from school or getting them in the street. Then I would take them to Madam Goodness. And she would sell them between N150,000 and N200,000. But I was arrested on May 1, 2017, when I stole a set of twins at an estate in Onitsha and took them to my house. Suddenly the father of the twins traced me to my house and came with policemen and I was arrested."
Onwuasoanya who hails from Ebenebe, Awka North Local Government Area, Anambra State, also made more interesting revelations to the police while being interrogated.
