I stole my friend's baby so my lover could pay my bride price- Suspect

Remember we brought you the story of a lady, Jennifer Onyebuchi, who stole her friend's 9-month-old son in the Ajegunle area of Lagos State. And was caught and the baby rescued in Okija, in Anambra State.
Well, the lady whose picture has been made public by the police, have given an unrealistic reason why she stole her friend's son.
According to the 26 year-old suspect , who said she was an orphan, said she stole the baby so that her lover who lives in Okija,  Anambra could pay her bride price. She claimed her lover had insisted she had a baby before he would pay her bride price and she
resulted to stealing the baby to present to her lover as theirs.

She said, “My mother died when I was in primary five. My father had died a few years earlier. My parents had two of us; but a few years ago, my elder sister died during childbirth. So, I was left alone in Anambra State without any relation.

“I gave birth to a child in 2010, but he died after six months. Last year, I met a man who promised to marry me after I had had a child for him.

“We started living together in October 2014. I 

was pregnant, but after three months, I had a 
miscarriage. I was troubled, and started running 
after traditional doctors and hospitals, but to no 
avail. I decided to come to Lagos to work and 
find a way to get a baby. I came to Lagos in June 2015.

“So, I came to the Ajegunle area and I got a job as a fuel attendant. While I was working, I met the baby’s mother and we became friends.

“On that Saturday, I went to her shop, which was near the filling station. I said I was going to the 

Boundary area to buy an item and I would carry her baby with me. She did not object. So, I took the baby from her, and boarded a bus to Anambra State to meet my lover.”

Jennifer added that she bought baby foods to
 keep the boy healthy after lying to her lover that
the baby was theirs.
She said, “I did this so that he could pay my bride price and marry me. I did not tell the baby’s mother that I was taking him to Anambra. We left on Saturday and got to my place on Sunday. I had the intention to bring the baby back after my bride price had been paid. I lied to my husband that I had been pregnant before I left and gave birth to the baby while in Lagos
