The police at the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, Panti Yaba, Lagos State, southwest Nigeria, have arraigned two Onitsha-based business women, Mrs Grace Onye, 52, and Ngozi Ikeh, 45, for their alleged criminal involvement in the stealing and buying of a two-year old baby in thev state.
They were arrested at Ikotun in December last year while going back to Ontisha with a stolen baby sold to them for N300,000 by a man who is now at large.
P. M.NEWS gathered that the matter was transferred to SCID following a confessional statement made by one of the suspects, Onye, who allegedly told the police that she had been coming to Lagos to buy babies in the past three years.
Onye and Ikeh allegedly confessed that they had a contact man simply identified as Samuel who usually lodged them at a hotel on Abiola Adeyemi Street, Igando Road, Ikotun whenever they are in Lagos to buy babies. She told the police that she sold all the babies to those in need, especially barren women.
