Pastor, 4 Others Arrested Over Alleged Stealing Of Two-month-old Baby (Photo)
It was dramatic and funny when five persons, including a pastor, were arrested in connection with the alleged sale of a new baby.
Detectives from the Oko-Oba Police Division in Lagos rescued a two-month-old stolen baby during a naming ceremony organized by the new parents in Lagos.
However, the biological mother of the baby (name withheld) reported to the police that one Gloria Sunday absconded with her son on July 11, 2024.
While confirming the development, the Spokesman for the Lagos State Police Command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, said: ”Detectives swung into action, leading to the arrest of Gloria Sunday. During interrogation, the suspect confessed to selling the baby for N500,000 to one Pastor Peter Udoh, who was subsequently arrested in Ikene Town, Ogun State. He admitted reselling the child for N1,450,000 to one Loretta Nelson, who was also apprehended in Festac Town, Lagos. She, in turn, confessed to selling the baby for N2,350,000.”
“Further investigations led to the arrest of the final buyers of the baby, Mr. and Mrs. James Uwam, during the naming ceremony of the stolen child. All suspects will be arraigned in court at the conclusion of the investigation,” he confirmed.
