Mother Sells Baby For N150,000 Then Abscond

The baby was found following the arrest and detention
of one of the suspected buyers by members of a
vigilante group in the area. The buyer was said to have
confessed buying the baby, after the mother
complained of her inability to continue nursing the baby
alongside his sister as their father had absconded.
Reports have it that the mother of the baby, who
resides at Chaza Village, near Suleja, immediately left
for Benue state after the transaction was completed
Leader of the vigilante group, Mr. Bisala Akoshi, said
that four persons suspected to have been connected
with the deal, including the man alleged to have bought
the baby, have also been apprehended and handed over
to the policemen at Suleja ‘B’ division for further
investigation.
Also speaking, a cleric in a Church at Chaza, where the
mother worships, said the church was shocked to
receive the news as they had donated N5,000 to the
mother of the baby to enable her travel back to her
village when she approached the church.
When contacted on phone, the Police Public Relations
Officer, Niger state command, Richard Adamu, an
Assistant Superintendent, said the command has not
been briefed about the incident.
What a wicked and a heartless world.
