Lagos Policewoman Obotie Adesuwa Arrested For Selling Baby To Couple In Port Harcourt

Sergeant Obotie Adesuwa has
been arrested by officers of the
X-Squad Section of the Lagos
State Police Command after she
allegedly sold a newborn baby
boy brought to the station with
his mentally unstable mother.
Adesuwa who hailed from Benin
city in Edo State was on duty at
Akinpelu Police Division in
Oshodi Lagos in the last week
of September when a Good
Samaritan brought a newborn
baby boy and his mother to the
station from a psychiatric
hospital.
It was learnt that Adesuwa, who
was on duty, had received the
baby.
She allegedly failed to record
the incident in the crime diary
of the day on that fateful
evening. She later took the
baby and his mother to an
undisclosed location where she
handed the baby to a relative
who sold him to a couple in Port
Harcourt.
The mother was taken to a bus
station and handed N500 to
take the bus home.
The bubble burst when the
mentally unstable woman
suddenly returned to the station
on November 9 2015 to ask for
her baby which resulted in a
physical fight.
“The DPO was later informed,
and took all of them to the Area
Commander, and then the
female sergeant was arrested
and taken to the Area F
command, Ikeja, from where
she was later transferred to the
X-Squad Section.
The baby has now been
recovered.
All those involved in the sale
and transportation of the
innocent baby boy have been
arrested.
