Police in Ogun state have arrested a woman for stealing a one week old baby boy.
In a statement, the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, the woman, Chinyere Nwozu, aged 53, was arrested at about 9 am on the 25th of July 2022, when she was seen with a little baby who was crying but can not breastfeed him as a mother.
PPRO Oyeyemi said this aroused the suspicion of some members of public, who quickly alerted the police at Sango Ota divisional headquarters.
He said, “Upon the information, the DPO Sango Ota, SP Dahiru Saleh, detailed his detectives to the scene where the woman was promptly arrested.
“On interrogation, she confessed to the police that she is not the biological mother of the child but that she bought the child somewhere in Agege area of Lagos state through one Ngozi Akaeme at the rate of 500,000 naira.
“Upon her confession, detectives went after the said Ngozi Akaeme and got her arrested.
She confessed that was an accomplice to Chinyere Nwozu, and that she actually negotiated with the biological mother of the baby who, according to her, agreed to sell the baby.
Oyeyemi added that efforts to make her accompany policemen to locate the real mother of the baby proved abortive.
Meanwhile, the state Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Bankole has directed that the suspects be transferred to State Criminal Investigation Departments for further investigation and possible prosecution.
