A couple trafficking a one-month-old baby from Lagos has been arrested by the Police at the Bridgehead in Onitsha, Anambra state.

The state police spokesperson, Tochukwu Ikenga, disclosed this in a statement.

He said the suspects were intercepted following a call by a passenger traveling with them in the same vehicle.

Ikenga said the suspects confessed buying the child from the mother in Ajah, Lagos for N30,000.

The suspects have been handed over to the National Agency for Prohibition in Trafficking of Persons (NAPTIP) for further investigation and prosecution.

Ikenga added that the baby has been handed to the Ministry of Women Affairs for care by the state government.

He said: “The police in Anambra state have arrested a couple trafficking one month old Baby from Lagos. The interception was made at Bridgehead in Onitsha on 17th December, 2023.

“The couple were travelling in a Luxury bus belonging to a popular transport company with the baby when a co-passenger observed that the mother could not breastfeed the baby despite its cry for food in the course of the journey.

“The good Samaritan put a call through to Anambra Police on its Control Room hotline in Awka which then relayed the information to the Police at Bridgehead in Onitsha.

“The Police laid in wait for the luxury bus described and intercepted it in the evening hours. The couple and the Baby were identified and brought down for questioning.

“They confessed buying the child from its mother in Ajah, Lagos for the sum of N30,000.”
