<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>The convicts, Emmanuel Okechukwu Ogbodo, 28, and Peace Ufeabuchi Nnamonu, 22, were convicted on two counts bordering on conspiracy and attempted child trafficking.<\/p>\n

Delivering judgment, Justice Rosemary Oghoghorie convicted both defendants on the two counts and sentenced each of them to five years\u2019 imprisonment on count one and two and a half years on count two, with the sentences to run concurrently.<\/p>\n

She further ordered that the sentences should commence from the respective dates of their arrest.<\/p>\n

According to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), Cross River Command, the couple had attempted to sell their one-year-old son to a third party for N800,000.<\/p>\n

The agency said it received a tip-off from the intended buyer, who reported the transaction, prompting its intervention and leading to the interception of the proposed sale.<\/p>\n

The convicts pleaded guilty to the two-count charge filed on October 12 and were arraigned on November 3.<\/p>\n

They were charged under Sections 27 and 29 of the Trafficking in Persons (Prohibition) Enforcement and Administration Act, 2015.<\/p>\n
