Enugu, Nigeria– A family tragedy has sparked allegations and a bitter dispute over a 22-month-old child now in NAPTIP’s custody. Ikenna Aniekwe, the youngest sibling, revealed that he and his brother-in-law were detained on the day of his sister’s burial after siblings accused them of murder and child trafficking in a petition.
Trouble started when Chukwuma Aniekwe and his other siblings could, allegedly, not account for funeral funds, with the youngest of the siblings, Ikenna, alleging that his siblings failed to provide a record of contributions leaving him unable to acknowledge support from friends – a significant cultural obligation in Igbo tradition.
In contrast, Chukwuma asserts that, based on reports from two prominent South African hospitals, their late sister could not conceive and alleges the child was trafficked. He also accused Ikenna of attempted murder and complicity in their sister’s death.
“My focus is on the 22-month-old child. This child has done nothing wrong,” Ikenna stated. In an interview with Vanguard, Ikenna Aniekwe addresses these allegations and the unresolved issues dividing the family.
