Nigerian Woman Buys Day Old Baby N600k, Sells For ₦4m (Video)

The Police in Delta have arrested a woman for selling her day-old baby for ₦600,000 and the purchaser who sold the same baby for ₦4 million in what appears to be a baby trafficking syndicate.

The shocking news of the baby trafficking syndicate surfaced in a viral post on X (formerly Twitter), where spokesman of the Nigerian Police in Delta, shared details of the incident.

According to the police officer, the young mother was taken in and cared for by some individuals during her pregnancy. However, after giving birth, she allegedly handed over the baby to a woman in exchange for ₦600,000.

Investigations later uncovered that the buyer resold the baby to another person for ₦4 million, sparking outrage online.

The police officer, who posted the story alongside a video, captioned it:

“The girl with long hair got pregnant, and people took care of her. But after some time, they noticed she was no longer pregnant. When asked about her baby, she said a woman helped her sell the child for ₦600,000. Watch and see how much the baby was resold for. This baby factory business— we are clamping down on it seriously.”

See some reactions below:

@AB_i_NO: “They didn’t do the right thing ooo, but that was not a baby factor case.”

@Ussy_babajo: “In a few years, this ‘baby’ will grow up, join the assembly line of factory-made activists, and start calling Northerners all sorts of names. The cycle continues.”

@Idrees_taheer: “What do you mean by asking ” why would you sell a baby for 3.5m and give the mother of the child 600k” what is the highest crime here? Would the crime be less of she had given her the 3.5m?”

@AbiolaVJ: “SP, please always state the date in your introduction for future reference. Good job The real winch is the woman on the left, but we don’t know for sure what the one in the middle wanted the child for. Hard to judge the mother. Her crime is ignorance.”

@MullingsJane: “You did a very poor job ? What time are U managing, D woman is trying to confess U are saying she is trying to exposes herself ? Can’t U use full day to handle this case or video recording you can do better, if you don’t want to bring this to people hearing you can help cover it.”

@ambalium: “Your focus should not be on the “amount” you should have focused on the main issue “safety of the baby” and the violations perpetrated by those involved.”
