A married lady has been arrested in Enugu State for defrauding a grieving couple with a ‘baby,’ which she claimed belonged to their late son. 

According to the police, the lady, Elitha Emeka and her husband, Emeka Moses Okechukwu planned the scam together. Detectives in Enugu State Police Command described Elitha and her husband as seasoned fraudsters.
Elitha and Okechukwu started playing tricks on Mr. and Mrs. Eneje just months after their only son; Paschal Eneje 28 was murdered by four gunmen. Elitha was said to have appeared from nowhere, called the Enejes, saying she had a baby for their son. She said she needed money for the baby’s up keep. 
It was later discovered that there was no baby. The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP, Ebere Amaraizu alleged that the couple maybe part of the people that conspired and murdered Paschal Eneje, 28.
