EMBATTLED Precious Donatus Ogbonna, the woman who claimed to have given birth to seven babies in one year was, yesterday, detained by the police in Owerri, Imo State.
Vanguard also learnt that the seven kids have been taken to a motherless babies home in the town.
Sources told Vanguard that the Police stormed the house of the ‘miracle babies’ woman at Irete, Owerri, Monday evening and took her away to the State Police CID, opposite Government House, Owerri, for interrogation.
The Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Imo State Command, Mr. Linus Nwaiwu, confirmed the arrest to Vanguard saying the woman was invited for questioning.
Mrs. Ogbonna had earlier told Vanguard that her husband had abandoned their home and disclaimed the paternity of the babies.
She said: “He has not come home. He abandoned me and claims that he is not the father of the babies but I know only DNA test can convince him and bring him back.”
Mr. Ogbonna has been avoiding the press even when Vanguard was in Owerri to hear his side of the story. A close friend of the controversial woman, Mrs. Evan-Ibeh Florence, who earlier hinted Vanguard of Mrs Ogbonna’s arrest said that she was instrumental to her friend’s visit to Lagos some weeks back which marked the beginning of her ordeal.
Assistance from Nigerians
She said she did not know that bringing her to the public glare through the press would create problem for her friend, adding: “I never knew it would turn out this way for her, all I wanted was to get assistance from good spirited Nigerians for her through the press.”
At press time, Mrs. Ogbonna was still in detention at the state CID, Owerri, and all attempts to reach her on phone proved abortive.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Ibe told Vanguard that a DNA test has already been conducted and that the result was being awaited. She said that a popular TV presenter in Lagos was instrumental to carrying out the test, adding that the result would be ready soon to vindicate her friend.
Mrs. Ibe said: “I just hope the result comes soon to prove her story because I know she couldn’t have stolen the babies. They did the test some weeks ago and we are still expecting the result from South Africa.
“They did it for six babies about three weeks ago, the seventh baby was done recently because they did not bring along the birth certificate with them initially.”

if they run out of senses we the general public are not mad,how many months does it take to give birth since she did not give birth to all the seven at once and which hospital did she gave birth?if she really gave birth to seven babies is there no eyes witness?why DNA test?

all i have to say is that ,the woman still stand innocent until proofed guilty since she was the one that has called for the DNA and even started the whole process herself. i do not take delight in accusing people before confirming their claims and besides GOD is capable of doing anything the way he wants it and at anytime he pleases though i have not said the she is right or wrong.what i understand from she is saying and what i also think is that all the babies were conceived at the same times but they were not delivered once hence some came months later and in batches .lets wait for the DNA test before we can shout crucify her.
