Wonders they say Never Cease to End - Woman Buys Twins For 1.9million Naira
|
The police in Lagos State, western Nigeria, have arrested a 52-year old woman identified as Mrs. Olamide Bello for allegedly buying twin babies for N1.9 million. |
According to, the suspect who resides at Adeniji Street, Meiran, a
suburb of Lagos State, with her husband and step-children, told her
husband, Mr. Wasiu Bello, that she was pregnant and that she has been
instructed to go and deliver of the baby in Port Harcourt, the Rivers
State capital in southern Nigeria.
Mrs. Bello was alleged to have spent two weeks in Port Harcourt
before returning to Lagos with twin babies, a boy and a girl, claiming that she
gave birth to them.
Curious neighbours who never saw her with pregnancy prior
to her trip to Port Harcourt alerted the police at Alakuko, alleging that
they suspected that the woman may have stolen the babies.
Sources said the Divisional Police Officer in charge of Alakuko
Police Station, Mr. Musa Alimi, a Chief Superintendent of Police, CSP,
instructed some female detectives to investigate the allegation.
P.M.News learnt
that when Mrs. Bello was confronted by the female detectives, she insisted that
she gave birth to the twins and also suggested the police should take her to a medical
doctor to confirm her claim.
It was at the hospital that doctors confirmed that she is not the
biological mother of the babies.
At that point she had to confess that she bought the babies in
Port Harcourt for N1.9 million.
When her husband, Mr. Wasiu Bello, was arrested and interrogated,
he told the police that his wife told him that she was pregnant and wanted to
go and deliver of the baby in Port Harcourt.
He said he obliged only for her to come back with the babies
claiming she gave birth to twins.
He dissociated himself from the crime.
