Anger As Couple Sell One-Month-Old Baby For N50,000 In Ogun

Social media has been hit with shock following the arrest of a couple in Ogun state for selling their one-month-old baby for N50,000.

The couple, Eze Onyebuchi and his wife Oluchi Eze were picked up by men of the Ogun State Police Command following a tip-off.

Ogun Police PRO, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, in a statement, said, on interrogation, the suspects explained that it was one Mrs Ruth Obajimi, who directed the yet to be identified buyer to them.

“They stated further that the woman came to them on the 14th of December 2021, and told them that she is from a human rights office and that she will help them to foster their child. The woman then gave them the sum of fifty thousand nairas and they handed over the baby to her despite not knowing her from Adam,” he said.’

According to Oyeyemi, efforts have been intensified to apprehend the buyer who is now at large.

Following the revelation of the dastardly act, social media users reacted with shock, anger, blaming poverty and hunger. Some users blasted the couple for selling their own baby, while some couldn’t believe they sold the baby for just 50k.
