Their plan unraveled when a commercial motorcycle rider, known locally as a “keke rider,” overheard their conversation. Instead of taking them to their intended destination, he drove directly to the police station to report the incident.

Superintendent of Police (SP) Bright Edafe, the spokesman for the Delta State Police Command, explained, “On October 1, 2024, around 6:30 PM, a tricycle rider (name withheld) reported to the Ekpan police station that while on his regular route, four women boarded his tricycle. When they reached Effurun Roundabout, two of the women alighted, and one handed over a newborn baby boy to the two women remaining in the tricycle. The rider overheard one of them say that the balance had been paid and instructed the others to inform her upon reaching their destination.”

The rider quickly diverted the two women, Tessi Ikechukwu and Lauretta Akomen, along with the newborn, to the Ekpan Police Station, where they were subsequently arrested.

Preliminary investigations revealed that 38-year-old Lauretta Akomen had purchased the baby for ₦2 million from a traditional home in Port Harcourt that is known to harbor teenage girls.
