Some grand mums can be so cruel!
The Abia Police Command, has arrested a shameless Grandma who
allegedly sold her three-year-old grandson to a ritualist.
The
Command’s spokesman, DSP Udeviotu Onyeke told newsmen a while ago, that the woman was
in the custody of the police in Umuobiakwa, as investigation continues.
He
said that part of the investigation being carried out was to determine
the sanity of the woman. The woman, who hailed from Onitsha Ngwa in
Obingwa Local Government of the state, had left the village with the
child and returned a week later to report that he was missing.
Sources
in the village said that when the suspect was questioned about the
missing boy, her response triggered suspiscion, thereby prompting the
villagers to invite the police.
The suspect, allegedly told the
police that she sold the boy for N100, 000 to a native doctor in Akwa
Ibom and wanted to use the money to buy a motorcycle before end of the
year.
The police spokesman, however, said that the woman had
since changed her statement, claiming that the boy was with her sister
in Aba. Onyeke assured that the police would thoroughly investigate the
matter to unravel the whereabout of the three-year-old boy.
