Speaking with the Prime suspect, Glory Asuquo told Vanguard that she learnt the trade while with her madam in Enugu many years ago.
She said: ” I learned the illicit trade under my madam while I was serving her in Enugu many years ago, when I came back to Calabar I decided to start my own business, it was going smoothly until my contact(Mrs Iquo ) person died, she was among the 11 persons that died at Awi few weeks ago.
“I usually discuss with them( the pregnant women) before I send them to the receiver (Mrs Iquo) who then pays me, I have sold three children so far for 1.5 million, two boys and a girl and I gave thier mother 350 thousand each and keep 150 for myself from each deal
“I don’t think I will be able to continue the business because Iquo who brings buyers is already dead. I am 32 years old and a mother of two and my daughter is also pregnant and amongst those rescued, it was my joblessness that led me into the business,” she said.
In another development, a three-man robbery gang that specializes in robbing and raping women have also been arrested.
Vanguard gathered that two out of the three members just returned from Afokang Correctional facility in August and still went back to robbery barely two months after they regained freedom.
One of the suspects, Chidi Okereke disclosed that he doesn’t know what comes over him when he is on operation adding that the sexual urge usually becomes strong and he demands oral sex.
” To be frank with you, I usually demand oral sex when I am on operation, the urge to be sexually stimulated or sucked at that point is always there, I can’t even explain why and how.
” I just came back from prison in August and a friend of mine invited me to join their gang since I have nothing doing I had to join them, this is our third operation since I joined the new group,” he said.
