Controversy is brewing in Orhuwhorun community, Udu
Local Government Area of Delta State following the alleged
sale of a day-old baby for N2million by her father, Happy
Fashion, a member of vigilante group in Orhuwhorun.
The development was blown open by the mother of the new
baby, Mrs. Abigal Happy when she discovered that her
sixth baby which she gave birth to on Monday January 11,
20116 at about 5pm had been whisked away by her hubby.
Mrs. Abigail told close associate that her husband
abandoned her before the delivery and claimed to be out of
town, adding that when she informed him about the delivery
of the baby, he became curious and suddenly showed up at
home, warning her not to breastfeed the baby.
Reports said that it was the following day after Happy
Fashion had returned home that he secretly hoodwinked his
wife, promising to take care of the household. He later in
connivance with his friend, Obakpororo allegedly carried
the baby and put her in a black nylon bag, after which the
child was transferred to another female friend who took the
baby to a waiting jeep driven by unidentified man.
It was the couple’s eldest son that reportedly saw all that
transpired, while, the baby’s mother was said to be
sleeping during the episode. Another account stated that
she was taking her bath when the baby was whisked away.
The suspect, Happy Fashion and two of his friends have
been arrested and are at the Ovwian Aladja Police Station
in Udu Local Government Area. The whereabouts of baby
that was sold for N2million is still unknown as at the time
of the report.
Effort to get comments from the DPO
of Ovwian Aladja
Police Station on the development via phone were futile as
he declined comments, saying he could not respond to
questions on the issue on phone but the police image
maker in the state, Mrs. Celestine Kalu confirmed that the
investigation was ongoing.
