An Asaba-based couple arrested for allegedly selling their new born twins to a Lagos- based buyer has been arraigned before an Asaba Chief Magistrate's Court on a two-count charge.
.
Also arraigned was the said buyer of the twins and a welfare officer who allegedly facilitated the deal, on a separate two-count charge.
.
All four accused persons pleaded not guilty to the charges and were admitted to bail.
.
Although the crime allegedly committed seemed heinous, the magistrate exercised his discretion by granting them bail but with stringent conditions.
.
The accused couple were granted bail to the tune of N200,000 each and in like sum, a responsible surety who must be under domicile within the jurisdiction of the court and must be a civil servant of not less than 10 years either in the Federal Government, state or local government level employment.
.
The court, therefore, adjourned the case to May 16, 2013 for definite hearing.
I don't know why people would think of selling twin babies in this country? It is just bad for all this to happen. It makes no sense to me
