The infant boy in Chioma’s arms, whom she insists is her son, is named Hope. She views him as her miracle child after eight years of unsuccessful attempts to conceive.
She assertively declares, “I own my baby.”
She and her husband, Ike, are sitting next to each other in the office of a Nigerian state official who questions them for about an hour.
Ify Obinabo has a lot of experience settling family conflicts in her role as Anambra State’s commissioner for women’s affairs and social welfare, but this is no typical argument.
Five of Ike’s relatives, who are also in the room, disagree that Hope is the couple’s biological kid, despite what Chioma and Ike say.
