A 33-year-old woman has sold her 18-month-old baby for N600,000 to offset her bank loan in Sango in Ado-Odo Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State, Nigeria, according to reports.
“She borrowed money from a microfinance bank and was unable to pay back the money,” reports said.
“The bank agents started dragging her and threatening to deal decisively with her.”
The suspect was arrested by men of the Ogun State Police Command following a complaint lodged at Sango Divisional Headquarters by her husband.
“She ran to Lagos and started hawking sachet water while hawking that she met a man who introduced her to the woman that eventually bought the child in Lagos at the rate of N600,000,” she said.
“The suspect will be transferred to State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation and possible recovery of the baby,” according to the the acting Commissioner of Police, DCP Babakura Muhammed.
