A 33-year-old woman, Olaide Adekunle, has been arrested by the Ogun State police command for allegedly selling her 18-month-old baby.

The buyer is yet to be identified, but the police said investigations showed she sold the baby for ₦600,000.

The suspect was arrested following a complaint lodged at Sango divisional headquarters by the woman’s husband, Nureni Rasaq.

A Buyer In Lagos

According to the police, the man had reported that his wife, Olaide Adekunle, left home for Lagos on the March 15 with their baby girl, named Moridiat Rasaq, but returned home without the baby.

He stated further that all efforts to know what happened to the baby proved abortive, as the woman was unable to give any reasonable account of the whereabouts of the said baby.

Upon receiving the report, the DPO of Sango Division, CSP Dahiru Saleh, detailed what his detectives should do to go after the said woman.

On interrogation, the suspect confessed that she had sold her baby to someone in Lagos for six hundred thousand naira (₦600,000).

When asked the reason for her action, she stated that she borrowed money from a microfinance bank, and when she was unable to pay back the money, the bank agents started disturbing her and threatening to deal decisively with her.
