FACT-CHECK: How Chinenye Odoh was killed after sale of her twins for N3m

Three women Ukorie Cynthia, Onyia Pauline, and Aroh Ijeoma have been docked at a Magistrates’ Court in Enugu for killing a mother, Chinenye Odoh, with a poison over a dispute on how to share N3 million realised from the sale of her twins.

 

The three were arraigned on charges of conspiracy, children trafficking and murder, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, Enugu Police Command’s Spokesman said in a statement.

 

According to him, the three suspects were arrested on July 26 after a report that they poisoned the deceased, Chinenye Odoh, who delivered a set of twins for not agreeing on the sum for which the babies were sold.

 

Ndukwe said the suspects as Ukorie, aged 25; Pauline, aged 56 and Ijeoma aged 39 were remanded in prison until October 5 for the continuation of their trial.

 

Giving further details of the wicked action, Ndukwe said the suspects, were arrested on July 26 following report that they conspired and sold the newborn twins of 31 years old Chinenye Odoh.

 

The three women thereafter caused the death of the mother of twins by poisoning her food, when she realized that the suspects gave her an amount lesser than the total sum they sold the babies.

 

The police spokesman said: “Investigations revealed that Ukorie Cynthia accommodated the deceased in her house till she put to bed on 05/07/2022, while Aroh Ijeoma facilitated the sale of the babies by contacting Onyia Pauline, a Nurse, who brought a couple that bought the babies upon their birth for N3,000,000.

 

That contrary to this sum, Ijeoma informed the deceased and mother of the babies, Chinenye, that the children were sold for N2,350,000.

 

Thereafter, she gave her N1,800,000; gave Cynthia and Pauline N50,000 each; and kept the remaining proceed to herself.

 

“However, when the deceased and mother of the babies eventually knew the exact amount they sold the babies, she demanded for the balance, but was thereafter said to have eaten a suspected poisoned corn given to her by Cynthia, leading to her death.

 

 

“2Meanwhile, the case has been adjourned to Oct. 5 for further hearing.”

 

However, the police failed to disclose if the twins have been recovered in the statement. CONTINUE READING………………….
