From OKEY SAMPSON, Aba
Two prophetesses have been arrested by the police in Aba, the commercial hub of Abia State for stealing and selling day-old baby girl, the child of one Grace, 23, from Abiriba in Ohafia Local Government Area of the state. The arrested prophetesses, Loreta Emmanuel and Sylva were from Owerri Imo State.
Daily Sun gathered that a man, Grace said was her boyfriend, got her impregnated, promising to marry her. However, Grace, who dropped out of secondary school due to her father’s ill-health, was disappointed when her boyfriend reneged on his promise and she became confused.
As she had nobody to help see her through the pregnancy, she contemplated dragging the man to the welfare department in Aba so that he could be compelled to take care of her until she put to bed. Grace was said to have intimated Loreta, a mother of seven who lived in the same area with her of her plans.
But Loreta advised her to the contrary and instead told Grace that she would take her to a prayer ministry where, with prayers, her boyfriend would have a change of mind. The girl bought into the idea and in August last year, Loreta took her to one prayer house at Umuocho village, Osusuamaukwa in Obingwa Local Government Area of the state, owned by Prophetess Sylva.
Grace stayed in the prayer house for months without her prayers being answered and without also being allowed by the women to go home. They were deceiving her with false prophecy that God revealed to them that she would die if she decided to go home and give birth outside the ministry.
Grace out of fear that she might die decided to stay with them. When it was about time for Grace to deliver, Sylva took her to their home and introduced her to one Apostolic Church in Ekeakpara in Osisioma Ngwa Local Government Area where she attended occasionally. Grace was delivered of a baby girl on January 2 at the Apostolic Church and hours later she was brought back to Sylva’s house together with the baby.
But the unexpected happened the following day when Grace went to take her birth. Before then, another woman, who was later identified as Ijeoma, a nurse, had visited them. Grace told Daily Sun that as she came out of the bathroom, she saw the two prophetesses and the nurse carrying the baby and were about moving into a waiting car and when she enquired where they were taking her child to, they told her that the baby was very sick and wanted to take her to where she would be treated.
“I wanted to go with them but Loreta said I should stay behind and have some rest since it had not been long I put to bed. When I insisted, she said she had seven children and that she would not do anything bad to me, saying I was like a child to her. With these words and being somebody I knew, I stayed back.”
After a while, according to Grace, who wanted the National Agency for the Prohibition of Traffic in Persons and other Related Matters (NAPTIP) to come into the matter since she had no one to stand for her, “Loreta and Sylva came back to the house without the baby and when I asked them about the child, they told me that the sickness became worse and she died.
“As I did not believe their story, I demanded for the corpse, but they kept telling me cock and bull story and after putting much pressure on them they admitted that the baby was somewhere, saying I should pay them N1.5 million which they claimed was the amount they spent in taking care of me all the while I was pregnant. “I told them if that was the case, they should bring back the baby I suffered so much to have and after a while, that I will rally round and get some money to pay them. But they said I was joking and threatened to deal with me if I ask them about the baby again because they knew I had nobody that could come for me.”
The matter was reported to the police then and the two women became evasive. They could not be arrested as both of them parked out from their houses and relocated their ministries. While Loreta parked out from her No. 42 Amos Street to Okohia Street and relocated her ministry to Umuode in Osisioma Ngwa Local Government where she was arrested, Sylva on her own parked out from Ekeakpara and relocated her ministry to Abala in Obingwa Local Government.
However, luck ran out on the two women when following a fresh complaint by Grace, the police in Aba, led by one Rotimi with other security agencies, arrested the two prophetesses who confessed to the crime. They were said to have admitted selling the baby to a lady in Port Harcourt, Rivers State with the help of Ijeoma, the nurse who was still at large, for N300, 000.
While a senior police officer said the suspects would be transferred to the SCID, Umuahia, Grace was worried that transferring the case to Umuahia would create a problem for her and probably make the women go scot free since she said she did not have the money to be attending the matter at the state capital. She urged NAPTIP to intervene immediately and work with the police to help her recover her baby.
What a hell is happening in Nigeria,what kind of stories are we hearing everyday. Life without good personal relationship with God always leads to all these kinds of mess. May God help us.
Reading all these news always spoil my day. where are we heading to? may God help us.
May God help us in Nigeria
The police should not let the prophetesses of doom to go scott free after they return the baby. They should each get 21 years imprisonment. What is N300,000.00 to be compared to a human being? This girl was impregnated and abandoned and she suffered nine months all alone only for her fellow women to plan and sell her baby for a token it is just incredible. And to the foolish woman they must have sold the baby to, there are so many children even a day old babies at the motherless babies home waiting for adoption and you would not have spent up to the amount you paid to do proper adoption. The devil in disguise prophetess with seven children, you can easily start selling your own children because 7 children for one woman is too much. You value your own children and you initiated selling who could be your grand daughter. NAPTIP and human rights lawyers should please help Grace to recover her baby.

jay jay dnt say that, it can happen to any one, ur sis, ur galfriend or ur wife. u can only advice her and nt to condemn her. Getting pregnant is nt more than the sins u have commited and to show u that she is not wayward, she carried her baby and gave birth without resorting to abortion, that shows that she has the fear of God. Dnt be suprised that she may make heaven at last. Afterall if not for the two false prophetesses that sold her baby, u wouldnt have seen the story published. help and stop crime in Nigeria
It is disheartening the way men and women hide under the guise of Christianity to perpetrate evil in the society. Let’s pray for the spirit of discernment to b e able to discern between the genuine from fake people of GOD. Because any of us can be their victim. MAY GOD DELIVER US IN 9Ja!
jay jay n d rest of u, holier dan dou saints, being u guy/lady don’t u fuck? no 2 be realistic, hv u ever stopped n pondered whr d 1 minute enjoyment might land u? i mean it’s not proper 2 start blamng dis young girl 4 opening her legs 4 a man who professed love 2 her instead i blame d irespnsbl man
@kola,u are a cow o! How can u single out the east. Tribalistic animal. If u don’t seem to like the 9ja jews,go and hug transformer. Onye ara.
De only news that come out of south east every day is unbelievable. Why i don’t know,perhaps de whole region need special delivrance. Haba, today we talk about kiddnappers association, yesterday we talk about a deranged man who set his wife,de mother of his three children ablazed, De VC who was kiddnapped yesterday n today again women of God who abducted innocent new baby. What can one say about this people who call themselves nigerian jews. How come we hardly hear any good news from jews region?. Perhaps u’ve offended almighty God. U really need delivrance.
Kola amoudu, there serial killers in your Yruba land. did you not read it. The one who has been living in the cave for the past 25 years eating human flesh . He is from Abeokute. He is not from the S/Enor from the S/S. He is a Yoruba Canibal.
bad country with bad people, period.
kola amodu repent and give ur life to christ n stop conderming pple cos ur not better off than anybody or ur tribe better than any tribe .ON D JUDGETMENT DAY U WILL GIVE ACCT OF ANYTHING U SAY
This is funny story and pitful. Why can’t we do things right in this country for God sake? Go to many ophanage homes all over the federation and red cross homes there are many children waiting to be adopted through due process, why all this wickadeness and shame to the house of God? May God help us to fear and respect him in all we do Amen.
Kola Amodu, hm. I hate abusing ppl bt u ar compelln me2 do dt bcos of ur senseless and crude behavior on national issues. Judging 4rm hw tribalistic u ar, i can only bt conclude dt u ar 4rm a broken home. Mayb ur king solomon father married igbo woman also n broke up wt her leaving u at d mercy of ur likes in d street. U lack parental upbringing. Anyway, learn2 be rational in judging pple b4 ur hatred 2 igbo ppl land u2 hell fire.
Fuck Nigeria.
well,for me i will say the girl is stupid!!but on the other side,those prophetesses will die!!! also,we have to investigate very well to knw if they did not reach any agreement with the girl oooo!!!
Hmmmm! These “jews of africa” at it again, na wa oooo
is only happening in abia state… God’s own state
Abia is never God’s own state but Devils own state. I am from Enugu state though they call us “Wawa” people. “Wawa” means “No” but they translated it to unwise people. See their level of wisdom. Adulterating igbo race with their nefarious activities in a quest to get rich. Check out from their Governor(Theodore Orji) unable to pay their workers salary even after dismissing non Abia indigenes in civil service, ABSU vice-chancellor (who is more interested in hiring Mercenaries as Lecturers during their accreditation by NUC and MDCN. Check out Abiriba people(Drug Pushers), Ohafia(Ritualists),Arochukwu (Slavery trade), Obingwa (Fuel scoopers), Isiala ngwa (Ritualist and Human fresh eaters), Umunneochi(Armed robbers)Aba North & South (Kidnappers),Ukwa west &East (Pet Pipeline Vandals) etc. With all these, how can you call Abia God’s own state.
Celeco, you said you are from Enugu state doesn’t exonerate you from the evil committed by your Igbo brother or sister, because Enugu state have it’s own fault in one way or the other, and you at the same time called Abia people adulterated igbos, why? Myself speaking is Imo state, an igboman by nature. You are speaking like some of our brothers those primitive ones who have never travelled out since their birth. Be objective when next you want to post your comments. Direct your condemination to the actors and not the entire state or tribe etc.I always advice peaple on this issue.
The result of sexual immorality and fornication.Those women are ritualists, they claimed to be prophetess so that the girl could make them her mentors or confidants.Well,the prophetess are doomed already.
