A 33-year-old woman has repeatedly been arrested by the Ogun State police command for allegedly selling off her 18-month-old baby to a yet-to-be-identified buyer at the rate of N600,000.
The incident was made public when the husband of the woman, Nureni Rasaq, reported the incident at Sango divisional headquarters.
The suspect, who purportedly hails from Sango in Ogun State’s Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area, reportedly left her home for Lagos 15th of March 2023, where she sold the infant to an unnamed bidder.
After the incident was reported to the police, an arrest warrant was issued to arrest the woman and upon interrogation, the suspect confessed that she has sold her baby to someone in Lagos at the rate of six hundred thousand naira (#600,000).
The mother of the children disclosed that she sold the child to an unknown woman in Lagos in order to get money to pay off the loan she took from a microfinance bank.
