The 4-year-old twin girls |
When Beatrice left home in the morning of October 1, 2013 with her twin
girls, the 4-year-old twins would probably be thinking their mom was taking
them out for a special independence anniversary treats.Never ! Beatrice was on
a mission to sell her God-given twin babes for 75,000 Nigerian Naira (NGN) apiece.
How were the girls rescued from this monstrous mother?
Wonders they
say shall never end. What many would rather give a finger to have was what a
woman identified as Beatrice, was trying so hard to dispose, whilst most Nigerians
were celebrating the anniversary of the country’s freedom from the jaws of
colonialists on Tuesday, October 1, 2013.
Beatrice, a
native of Isele-Uku,Delta State, Nigeria married to a Beninoise,was trying so
hard to send her twin girls into perpetual slavery. Beatrice who, lived with
her husband at Idi-Oroko area of Ogun state Nigeria, was reported to have
parted ways with her husband in March, 20134.
While she
lived with her 4-year-old daughters at the border town, her estranged husband
was said to have taken another wife, and moved out of the town.But, it was
reported that once in a month Beatrice’s former husband would visit his twins
in their mother’s house. The man is also reported to take full responsibility
of the children’s upkeeps, albeit not to the required standard.
The husband,
whose identity could not be immediately ascertained, was on such a trip to
Idi-Oroko on the fateful day, when he discovered that his former wife and
mother of his twin girls was very close to disposing off their twins for cash.
Saturday mirror gathered on the morning of that day, Beatrice left her house
quite early for a market at the border.
The woman
was said to have informed one Maimunat, said to be her closest friend of her
plans to travel out of the town for the coming Sallah period. It was discovered
later that when Beatrice left home early morning that day with her twins, she
headed for the border market where she reportedly met a couple who came from
Lome, Togo, to purchase the twins. Some hours after she left home with her kids,
her former hubby, the father of those girls with a friend living a stone throw
from Beatrice’s house, arrived the home to see his daughters, but to hear that
his estranged wife had left home very early that day.
You can
imagine a woman offering her twins for N150, 000.Another eyewitness told
reporters that: ‘I was repairing my car beside the restaurant and I heard noise
a the entrance of the of the restaurant. By the time we got there, we heard that
the woman has sold the kids for N150, 000.But, the man beat the hell out of the
woman before they all moved themselves into a bus and left the area’’.The
Togolese couple that reportedly paid for the girls had to forfeit their money,
while the father of twins took possession of them right from there. He dragged
Beatrice into the bus and they all left to an unknown destination.
