A 26-year-old lady, Rachael, has said that a 42-year-old woman she sold her baby to for N600,000 resold the two-week-old to someone seeking to adopt a child for N4 million.
The mum said this when she was paraded at the Delta State Police Command headquarters in Asaba, the state capital, on Tuesday.
Rachael, a resident of Asaba, who was paraded alongside two other accomplices by the spokesman of the command, Bright Edafe, said she carried out the act because she could not afford to take care of her and her other male child.
She said the father of the two-week-old baby denied paternity of the child who was born on January 27, 2025, adding: “I gave the baby away because I am the only one taking care of the child.
