The suspect was arrested following a complaint lodged at Sango Divisional Headquarters by the woman’s husband, Nureni Rasaq, who reported that his wife, Olaide Adekunle, left home for Lagos on the 15th of March 2023 with their baby girl by name Moridiat Rasaq, but returned home without the baby.

He stated further that all efforts to know what happened to the baby proved abortive as the woman was unable to give any reasonable account of the whereabouts of the said baby.

Upon the report, the DPO Sango division, CSP Dahiru Saleh, detailed his detectives to go after the said woman, and she was promptly arrested.

On interrogation, the suspect confessed that she has sold the baby to someone in Lagos at the rate of six hundred thousand naira (#600,000).

When asked the reason for her action, she stated that she borrowed money from a microfinance bank, and when she was unable to pay back the money, the bank agents started dragging her and threatening to deal decisively with her.
