'Why I sold my baby for half bag of rice'

A 20-year-old woman, Chioma Fidelis, has confessed to selling her two months old son, Favour Fidelis, for a half bag of rice, three chairs, cement and the sum of N200,000.

Speaking to newsmen on Friday when she was paraded alongside her accomplices by the police in Imo State, the 20-year-old woman said hardship and the circumstances in which she got pregnant led her into the crime.

Fidelis who hails from Ehime Mbano Local Government Area of the state, said that she had no other option but to sell the child having realised that her baby was suffering from kwashiorkor, adding that she had no husband to take care of her and the child.
