A 60-year-old grandmother, Asabi Adebayo, has told the Oyo State Police
Command that she had a thriving baby trafficking ring where she
allegedly bought five babies for the whopping sum of N5 million, at N1
million per baby, with the sole purpose of taking the babies to the
United State of America, for sale.
Adebayo who added
that she had lived a large part of her life in the USA, said she bought
the babies from a child trafficker based in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The
suspect, after buying the babies, brought them to an orphanage in
Ibadan, and was in the process of obtaining a certified police report
for them in preparation for moving them abroad before she was nabbed.
Parading
Adebayo at the state police headquarters at Eleyele, Ibadan, the
Commissioner of Police, Leye Oyebade, said the woman would have escaped
if not for the patriotic effort of the officials of the orphanage who
reported the matter at the Iyaganku Police Station.
