Follow @NigeriaPI A Liberian, Daniel Barnney, is being held by the police for allegedly selling his nine-month-old son Emmanuel to a 43-year-old woman, Ekah Richard, for N250,000. Barnney, one Pastor Samuel Osavitu and a worker at an orphanage, Alhaji Sunkanmi Adamu, are being quizzed at Festac Police Station over the matter. Barnney’s Nigerian wife Ijeoma Ndoku raised the alarm over his plan to sell their son and flee to Ghana last month…. The police arrested Barnney at Mile 2 on February 12 and recovered the baby from Richard. Ndoku said she and Barnney have been quarrelling because she did not allow him to take the baby to his aunt, who she never saw. She debunked Barnney’s claims of abandoning the child, accusing him of fleeing with the boy on their way to buy groceries. “It’s a lie! I didn’t abandon my baby. He said he wanted to hand the baby over to his aunt. I said it was okay since his aunt was now in Nigeria. I said it will give me opportunity to look for a job and support the family because he has not been taking care of us. “For over three months, he has been saying he does not have money to take care of me and my baby but he usually had money to buy drinks and cigarettes. He could not even bring out N150 for me to buy pampers for our baby. Even when I wanted to take the baby to the hospital, I usually went and borrowed money; other times, our neighbours will give me money to cater for the baby. “He used...

In an interview with The Shaderoom, Miss Diallo alleged that Starboy Wizzy has refused to own up to his parental responsibilities and referred to him as a ‘deadbeat dad’. Reports emerging have revealed that Wizkid is indeed shying away from his fatherly responsibilities. Inside sources revealed to Ynaija that the Nigerian singer has also refused to show up for a DNA test requested by Binta Diallo, to prove that he is indeed, the father of her son. “Wizkid is refusing to accept the baby, and he’s not paying child support. He’s also refusing to make himself available for a DNA test to determine the paternity of the baby,” the source alleged. The source also added that “in Nigeria, it may be alright to do avoid taking responsibility for your child, but “in the US, they take such things very serious as his hide and seek with the mother of his child may also affect him, whenever he’s trying come in and go out of the country.” Meanwhile, in a video released by Hip TV yesterday, when Wizkid was asked to comment on the matter and he adamantly kept mute and refused to speak on the issue.
