The Delta State Police Command on Wednesday paraded two suspected child traffickers for allegedly selling a newborn.

According to the state’s commissioner of police, Hafez Inuwa, the suspects – Tolulope Bosede, 45, and Abiola Komolafe, 20 -were intercepted while travelling in a commercial bus along Asaba-Benin expressway by Okpanam.

He added that the arrest of the duo led to the arrest of two others involved in the case.

Inuwa alleged that the duo, who are from Akure in Ondo State, had sold a newborn male child to a trafficker, Mrs Nkaneme Melife, in Onitsha, Anambra State.

WuzupNigeria gathered that Melife, in turn, sold the baby to one 56-year-old Mrs Ekunno Ifeyinwa of Onora family house in Abba village of Anambra.

He said,

“Two suspected child traffickers, one Tolulope Bosede 45 years and Abiola Komolafe 20-year-old both from Akure in Ondo state were intercepted and arrested while on transit in a commercial bus along Asaba-Benin expressway by Okpanam.
