Unbeknownst to her, Umar had arranged to sell the child to an unknown buyer. He was caught negotiating the sale in a Bauchi hotel, unaware the buyer was an undercover detective.

Umar also sent N40,000 for transportation to the intermediary. The CP has ordered a thorough investigation into the matter.
