Sex worker sells 3-month-old baby for N200,000 in Katsina
An 18-year-old sex worker, Aisha Idris, has been
arrested by the Katsina State Police Command for allegedly selling her
three-month-old baby for N200,000.
The Commissioner of Police, Katsina State Command,
CP Usman Ali Abdullahi, disclosed that Aisha Idris conspired with a nurse,
Ogugua Oko, working with the Federal Medical Centre, Katsina, who linked them
up with the buyer of the baby.
CP Abdullahi said Aisha Idris was arrested along
side one Hauwa Ibrahim alias Kaka, and the nurse, who linked them with another
lady, Joy Ihenamere, 50, to sell the baby off to one Grace Ohoho. According to
him, “information gathered has it that Aisha Idris gave birth three months ago
at the Federal Medical Centre. She conspired with her friend, Hauwa, and a
nurse working with the Centre, who linked them to one Joy Ihenamere to sell the
baby for N200,000 to Grace Ohoho.
“The case was reported to the command on April 10.
The persons are in the police custody.” The baby was eventually recovered in
possession of Grace Ohoho in Okuku village, Owerri in Imo State.
Interacting with Grace Ohoho, she confessed that
she was married for 18 years without an issue, hence the need for her to buy
the baby. Police say the baby, named Victor, is in good condition.
Interrogated, Aisha Idris said she did not know what to do with the baby and
was planning to abandon the baby when the idea to sell the baby came to her.
Information gathered has it that Aisha Idris hails
from Rimi Local Government Area of the state, but resides in Dakin Tara,
Katsina.
