Woman confesses earning $700 from posting daughter’s pornographic video
A 36-year-old woman, Anulika Onyeanusia, arrested by the Anambra State Police Command for allegedly sexually abusing her eight-year-old daughter, has admitted earning up to $700 from posting pornographic videos of her children online.
The woman was arrested on Friday in connection with the incident and is being investigated for alleged child pornography.
According to the police, operatives recovered sex toys and other items from her residence in Onitsha, Anambra State, while four children aged two, three, six and nine were rescued.
During an interrogation, Onyeanusia said the highest amount she received from sharing pornographic videos of her daughter was $700.
She said she initially sent a video of her daughter to a foreign man through WhatsApp, after which he sent her money in dollars.
Asked how much she received, she said, “Sometimes, he gave me $300. Sometimes he gave me $400.”
A popular Anambra-based comedian and content creator, Valentine Obinwanne, popularly known as Onye Obodo, questioned the suspect during the interrogation.
He condemned her actions and questioned why she would subject her daughter to abuse for money.
The suspect, however, claimed that she was not the only Nigerian woman involved in such activities, alleging that she had seen other women posting similar content involving their children on social media.
“There’s one lady who also posted two of her children’s (pornographic videos) on our platform.
“I am not the only one doing this,” she said.
Police investigators subsequently told her that she would be expected to assist in identifying others involved in the alleged activity.
Onyeanusia said she did not know all of them.
She also confirmed that her husband was unaware of her activities on social media.
The suspect later pleaded for forgiveness and promised not to engage in the act again.
“Please, forgive me. It’s the devil’s handiwork,” she pleaded.
Police investigations into the case are ongoing.
