The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a 26-year-old mother and another woman, over allegedly attempt to sell a 9-month-old baby.

SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the Command spokesperson confirmed this in a statement on Saturday.

He said: “Passengers on a public bus noticed ceaseless crying from the baby with Okolie and questioned why she could not breastfeed the child if she was the biological mother.

“The suspect was about to be lynched when RRS operatives quickly stepped in to rescue her as well as the baby.

“Preliminary investigations revealed that the baby’s mother, one Maria Ahmadu, aged 26, allegedly gave her child to Oge to sell. This led to the arrest of the young mother.

The suspects and the baby have been transferred to the Gender Unit of the Command for further investigation and prosecution.”
