In Lagos, a two-month-old baby boy was rescued by the Lagos State Police Command during a naming ceremony. The couple hosting the event, Mr. and Mrs. James Uwam, were arrested for buying the baby for 2.35 million Naira from a suspected child trafficker, Loretta Nelson.
This was revealed in a statement made by Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, on Saturday.
Nelson had acquired the baby from Pastor Peter Udoh for 1.45 million naira. Udoh, in turn, bought the baby from Gloria Sunday for N500,000. Sunday allegedly stole the baby on July 11, 2024.
The baby’s mother reported the abduction, leading to a police investigation and the arrest of all involved parties. The suspects are set to be arraigned in court following the conclusion of the investigation.
