In a shocking incident, a 25-year-old woman, Yetunde Gbadebo, has been arrested by the Ogun State Police Command for attempting to sell her three-year-old daughter for N700,000 in Sagamu.
Gbadebo was caught negotiating the price with a 38-year-old man, Sunday None, on Aladiye Street in Sagamu, before a resident reported the incident to the police. During interrogation, Gbadebo denied the allegation, while None confessed to the crime.
According to the spokesperson for the command, Omolola Odutola, “The woman was about to sell her three-year-old daughter to another suspect. A resident who saw the two suspects negotiating the price approached our station in Sagamu to report what she saw.”
Odutola added, “The Sagamu Police Division detached a team of detectives who stormed the scene and arrested the two suspects. The man has confessed to the crime. The case will be transferred to the state Criminal Investigation Department as soon as preliminary findings are concluded.”
This incident is not an isolated case, as a similar incident was reported in January 2024, where a 38-year-old woman was arrested in Anambra State for attempting to sell her two sons.
