The Nigerian Police Force has arrested a mother who sold her baby, less than two weeks old, for ₦600,000 to a woman who later resold the child for ₦4 million.
This was revealed in a viral post on X (formerly Twitter), where a police officer detailed the shocking incident linked to a baby factory operation in the state.
According to the officer, a pregnant woman was taken in and cared for by certain individuals until she gave birth.
However, after delivery, the newborn was taken from her by a woman who handed her ₦600,000 in exchange.
Further investigations revealed that the woman who bought the baby later sold the child to another person for ₦4 million.
The post, shared by a police officer, included a video with a caption that read:
"The girl with long hair got pregnant, and people took care of her. But after some time, they noticed she was no longer pregnant. When asked about her baby, she said a woman helped her sell the child for ₦600,000. Watch and see how much the baby was resold for. This baby factory business- we are clamping down on it seriously."
As the story circulated online, concerned individuals flooded the comment section, expressing their outrage and concern over the alarming trend.
See some reactions below:
@AB_i_NO: "They didn't do the right thing ooo, but that was not a baby factor case."
@Ussy_babajo: "In a few years, this 'baby' will grow up, join the assembly line of factory-made activists, and start calling Northerners all sorts of names. The cycle continues."
@Idrees_taheer: "What do you mean by asking " why would you sell a baby for 3.5m and give the mother of the child 600k" what is the highest crime here? Would the crime be less of she had given her the 3.5m?"
@AbiolaVJ: "SP, please always state the date in your introduction for future reference. Good job 👍🏿 The real winch is the woman on the left, but we don't know for sure what the one in the middle wanted the child for. Hard to judge the mother. Her crime is ignorance."
@MullingsJane: "You did a very poor job ? What time are U managing, D woman is trying to confess U are saying she is trying to exposes herself ? Can't U use full day to handle this case or video recording you can do better, if you don't want to bring this to people hearing you can help cover it."
@ambalium: "Your focus should not be on the "amount" you should have focused on the main issue "safety of the baby" and the violations perpetrated by those involved."
