Shocking! Woman Allegedly Sells 2-Year-Old Daughter In Lagos
A woman identified as Grace Onome has been arrested in the Badagry area of Lagos for allegedly selling her two-year-old daughter for N50,000. The buyer and sold daughter, Zainab, are yet to be found.
According to Punch, Onome, said to be a commercial sex worker in the Mobil area of Badagry, was said to have sold Zainab to another sex worker, Endurance. She was arrested on Saturday alongside four accomplices by the Badagry Police Division after a tip-off.
A police source at the division said,
“It was on Saturday that Grace (Onome) and Endurance had the transaction. They are both commercial sex workers in the area.
Endurance gave Zainab’s mother N50,000, before taking the girl away. The mother said she used the money to buy a few things for herself.
The fleeing buyer is of no fixed address. But the police are on her trail.”
A child rights’ worker, Ebenezer Omejalile, added,
“Child rights’ workers in the Badagry area are monitoring the case. It is being investigated by the surveillance section of the police division.
The woman is a commercial sex worker and she sold the girl to a fellow commercial sex worker, who fled with the girl to a yet-to-be-ascertained location to resell her.
We want the matter to be transferred to the gender unit of the police in Ikeja, where proper investigation will be done.
We are worried that the victim has yet to be rescued by the police. Our contact persons in the Badagry area have been detailed to work with the police, and they will follow up on that matter.”
