Woman Buys 2 Babies For N1.9m In Lagos (Photo)
The police in Lagos State, western
Nigeria, have arrested a 52-year old woman identified as Mrs. Olamide Bello for
allegedly buying twin babies for N1.9 million.
According to P.M.NEWS findings, the
suspect who resides at 8, Adeniji Street, Meiran, a suburb of Lagos State, with
her husband and step-children, told her husband, Mr. Wasiu Bello, that she was
pregnant and that she has been instructed to go and deliver of the baby in Port
Harcourt, the Rivers State capital in southern Nigeria.
Mrs. Bello was alleged to have spent
two weeks in Port Harcourt before returning to Lagos with twin babies, a boy
and a girl, claiming that she gave birth to them.
Curious neighbours who never saw her with pregnancy prior to her trip to Port
Harcourt alerted the police at Alakuko, alleging that they suspected that the
woman may have stolen the babies.
Sources said the Divisional Police
Officer in charge of Alakuko Police Station, Mr. Musa Alimi, a Chief
Superintendent of Police, CSP, instructed some female detectives to investigate
the allegation.
P.M.NEWS learnt that when Mrs. Bello
was confronted by the female detectives, she insisted that she gave birth to
the twins and also suggested the police should take her to a medical doctor to
confirm her claim.
It was at the hospital that doctors
confirmed that she is not the biological mother of the babies.
At that point she had to confess
that she bought the babies in Port Harcourt for N1.9 million.
When her husband, Mr. Wasiu Bello,
was arrested and interrogated, he told the police that his wife told him that
she was pregnant and wanted to go and deliver of the baby in Port Harcourt.
He said he obliged only for her to
come back with the babies claiming she gave birth to twins.
He dissociated himself from the
crime.
When P.M.NEWS visited Alakuko Police
Station to get the police side of the story, the DPO in charge of the station,
CSP Musa Alimi, declined to comment on the arrest, saying he had already
transferred the case to Lagos State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID,
Smith Street, Panti, Lagos State.
All efforts to speak with the Lagos
State Police Comamand image maker, Mr. Ken Nwosu proved abortive as his two
mobile lines were switched off.
He also failed to respond to the
message sent to his Airtel line at the time of filing in this report.
Curious neighbours who never saw her with pregnancy prior to her trip to Port Harcourt alerted the police at Alakuko, alleging that they suspected that the woman may have stolen the babies.
