A mother who has been identified as Olaide Adekunle sold her baby to settle her debt. The woman is 33 years old and the baby she sold was just 18 months.
She allegedly sold the baby for N600,000.

The mother was arrested and put in police custody. Her husband Nureni Rasaq was the one who lodged a complaint at the Sango Police division. It was after this complaint was lodged that the arrest was made.

He told the police that his wife had traveled to Lagos with the baby but didn't return with the baby. She had refused to revelation where she kept the baby and then he decided to report the case.

The woman was interrogated and eventually confessed that she sold her baby for N600,000. She had sold the baby to someone in Lagos

She had done this to settle her debt. The debt rose when she borrowed money from a microfinance bank and she was unable to pay the money back. The bank agents had begun to threaten her.

She had gone to hawk water in Lagos when she met a man who introduced her to someone who bought the child from her.

They have transferred her for further investigation.
