A grandmother, identified as Mama Oluchi has been arrested by officers of the Nigerian police for allegedly selling her daughter’s 2-day old baby for N300, 000.
Mama Oluchi who had visited the private hospital where the baby was delivered under the pretence of taking care of her daughter, disappeared with the baby two days the baby was delivered.
Mama Oluchi was reported to have driven her daughter away when she cried to her about the baby.
Investigation revealed that Mama Oluchi sold the baby to a barren woman. The buyer has since been fished out and the baby rescued by detectives attached to the State CID.
A police source at the SCID said the woman who purchased the baby was in her 60s and she pleaded with the police that she had no child, hence her decision to buy one. Papa Oluchi was said to have also been arrested for supporting his wife.
