How Two Weeks-Old Baby Was Stolen And Sold In Lagos State By A Doctor
A traditional medical doctor Onolaja Olawale has been arrested by the police in Lagos State for allegedly selling a two-week-old baby to a couple.
According to the Sun, The state Commissioner of Police (CP), Mr. Fatai Owoseni, stated the couple Mr and Mrs Ayogbinle have also been arrested and that Dr. Olawole allegedly sold the baby to the couple for N136,000.
In his statement, Dr Olawole admitted to collecting money from the couple but claimed it was to help them to get necessary documents from Lagos State government to adopt the baby.
He said: “The mother of the baby came to me to say that she would be going back to Ofa Polytechnic where she is schooling, to process her National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) documents and that she would be away for two weeks. She appealed to me to assist in taking care of the child while she was away.
We are family friends. Since my wife was also breast-feeding, I decided that we should take custody of the baby pending when she would return from school. However, I have known Mr. And Mrs Ayogbinle for some years and I know that they are in dire need of a child. The woman has been suffering from miscarriages for several years. I sold the idea of adopting the baby to them. They gave me N130,000 to procure all relevant documents before I was arrested,” he said.
Speaking on the incident, Mrs Ayogbinle who did not deny buying the baby, blamed her landlord for her predicament who she said was stunned to see her with a two-week-old baby.
She said: “My landlord who knows that I was never pregnant, not to talk of giving birth to a two-week old baby, reported the matter to the police.” If I had been able to procure the documents, I would have taken good care of the baby. I need a baby.
The baby has been reunited with her mother and the commissioner of police confirmed the suspects will soon be taken to court.
