In a statement released on Tuesday by the State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, it was disclosed that the interception occurred at the River Niger Bridgehead in Onitsha on December 17, 2023.
While the identities of the detained couple were not disclosed, Ikenga mentioned that they were traveling in a luxury bus affiliated with a well-known transport company.
The statement explained, “The couple were traveling in a luxury bus belonging to a popular transport company with the baby when a co-passenger observed that the mother could not breastfeed the baby despite its cry for food in the course of the journey. The good Samaritan put a call through to Anambra Police on its control room hotline in Awka which then relayed the information to the police at Bridgehead in Onitsha. The police laid in wait for the described luxury bus and intercepted it in the evening. The couple and the baby were identified and brought down for questioning.”
According to Ikenga, the couple confessed to purchasing the child from its mother in Ajah, Lagos, for the sum of N30,000. The State Commissioner of Police, CP Aderemi Adeoye, expressed gratitude to the concerned citizen who provided the information leading to the child’s rescue. The CP also commended the police operatives for their vigilance and dedication to duty.
The statement further noted, “The CP has directed that the couple be handed to the National Agency for Prohibition in Trafficking of Persons for further investigation and prosecution. Meanwhile, the baby has been handed over to the Ministry of Women Affairs for care by the state government.
