A community in Anambra State has disowned a woman who was arrested two weeks ago while attempting to sell two of her sons.
Chinyere Chukwu was arrested alongside her 17-year-old daughter, Joy Chukwu, whom she conspired with to sell off the children for N1.8 million.
However, a delegation of Ozubulu people said the suspect only resided in the community but was neither an indigene nor married to any member of the community.
“We have done every investigation, and all the results say she is not from Ozubulu. She is not from Ozubulu, and she is not married in Ozubulu,’’ President General of the community, Chief Chris Ononuju said.
“The man she mentioned as her husband, whom she claimed has died, is still alive. He is our brother, and his wife died six or seven years ago. The man has not remarried anyone. She only lives in the man’s house as a tenant.
“This woman only lived in our community, and she is someone whose activities are not clear, and she has been written to and asked to leave the community before now. She came to the community with her husband and resided, but had differences with her husband, and the man left her, and she now claims the man had died.”
