A Liberian, Daniel Barnney, is being held by the police for
allegedly selling his nine-month-old son Emmanuel to a 43-year-old woman, Ekah
Richard, for N250,000. Barnney, one Pastor Samuel Osavitu and a worker at an
orphanage, Alhaji Sunkanmi Adamu, are being quizzed at Festac Police Station
over the matter.
Barnney’s Nigerian wife Ijeoma Ndoku raised the alarm over
his plan to sell their son and flee to Ghana last month.
