The mother of the trafficked girl, simply identified as Rachael, resident of Asaba, has confessed that she was attracted to sell her baby of eleven days by N600,000.
Three suspects, all women, are in police custody in the Delta State Police Command as investigations on crime continue.
“The child's father abandoned me and pregnancy. I was supported by neighbors and people of good will before delivering to the girl.
“Eleven days after childbirth, they introduced me to a seller who promised to help me, but then I took advantage of my anguish and persuaded me to sell to the baby. I did it, and they paid me N600,000, ”he confessed Rchael.
Those who had supported her during pregnancy worried when they noticed Rachael without the baby.
When investigating, he admitted the crime and was immediately arrested along with the contact that linked it to the seller.
The seller confessed to sell to the baby for N3.5 million and give mother N570,000 after deducting N30,000, which had previously lent him.
The third suspect, a woman from Delta, who bought the child, said he paid N4 million.
Resting the suspects, the public relations officer of the State Police Command, SP Bright EDAFE, declared that everyone had confessed their participation in the crime.
EDAFE, in a voice note, said: “We have realized that the business of babies factories is increasing, and we will fight against him.
“The other day, we stopped three women who tried to transport three different children to Abuja through the Asaba International Airport. Fortunately, they were trapped and arrested.
“Today we have three suspects. The child's mother, who has just over a week, handed the baby to a woman, who later sold the child to a third woman for N4 million, although she claimed to have received N3.5 million.
“The most shocking aspect is that the woman who sold the baby for N4 million, or N3.5 million, as she said, gave birth to the mother not even N600,000”.
Meanwhile, the baby has been recovered and remains in the custody of the Delta State Police command at the time of reporting.
