There are no specific reports about a man being arrested for selling a five-day-old baby for N1.5 million in Ebonyi State.

However, the search results do show that cases of child trafficking and the illegal sale of babies are a recurring problem in Nigeria. There have been several incidents reported in other states, including:

  • Lagos: The police arrested five suspects for allegedly selling a two-week-old baby for N3 million.
  • Delta State: A police spokesperson narrated how a one-week-old baby was sold for N4 million, with the mother receiving a smaller portion of the money. Another incident in Delta involved a man buying a child for N2.5 million and selling for N3 million.
  • Rivers State: Police arrested a man for allegedly selling his three children and breaking up a child trafficking ring.

While the specific incident in Ebonyi could not be confirmed with the details provided, the search results highlight a larger, ongoing issue of child trafficking and illegal baby sales across various parts of Nigeria.
