A woman has been arrested by the Police for allegedly stealing and selling her neighbour's baby for the sum of N250,000 in Akwukwu-Igbo community, Delta State.
The woman, Eunice (surname withheld) sold the baby to a woman in Lagos who is said to have been married for 18 years without a child.
Eunice
got custody of the baby last Wednesday, January 14 when her neighbour
appealed to her to help look after the baby while she ran some errands
in the market. Eunice then carried the baby to her buyer and a deal was
sealed.
It was revealed that Eunice disappeared
after she sold the baby; police however acted swiftly on a tip from a
neighbour who sighted her when she was selling the baby and traced
Eunice to a hotel in Ore Community of Ondo State where she was
apprehended.
Eunice is currently helping the police to track the buyer of the baby while being held at the state CID in Asaba.
The Police Public Relations Officer of the Delta State Police Command, DSP Celestina Kalu, has confirmed the arrest and revealed that investigations are still on-going.
