Update: I buy them for N50k each — ‘Reverend Sister’ arrested with 15 abducted children narrate
A suspected child trafficker, Maureen Wechinwu, who was arrested in Rivers State with 15 abd#cted children has confessed that she ‘bu¥s’ them.
The 44-year-old suspect, who claims to be a Reverend Sister, was arrested at Omuigwe Abuja Phase II, Aluu, in Ikwerre LGA for alleged child trafficking.
Speaking to newsmen at the police headquarters on Tuesday, September 6, the suspect claimed that she used to be a Reverend Sister trained in England and her orphanage is genuine.
“Some of the children are mad people’s children. The others are brought to me by one Mr. Victor. Sometimes he comes with them in twos. One Miss Alice brought two to me. Alice said since I am a beginner that I should take them.
Sometimes when Victor brings children, he will be demanding money. But due to the pressure on me sometimes I give N50,000, N60,000, and N100,000,” she said.
