Four women have been arrested by the Plateau State Police Command for stealing a one-month old baby in Jos.
Plateau State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Adekunle Oladunjoye paraded the suspects Rukaya Abdulahi, Nancy Ezekiel, Tongret Amos and Jeniffer Sati Sabo at the Jos police headquaters on Monday.
“One Talatu Abdulahi of new Abuja, Dadin Kowa Jos left her one month-old baby on bed in her room and left to visit a neighbor. The mother of the baby returned to the room in ten minutes to discover her baby had disappeared from her room.
“The mother promptly reported the missing baby to the police and the police immediately sprang into action in a short while and recovered the baby from the suspects” he said
However, one of the suspects, Nancy Ezekiel said that the child was stolen with the consent of the mother who had earlier agreed to sell the baby.
“We both agreed to carry out the deal, we also vowed never to disclose the deal to anyone while the baby remained with me. I was shocked to hear the mother report her baby was stolen after she agreed to sell the baby," she said.
The mother of the stolen child, Talatu Abdullahi said the fear of her father made her agree to sell the baby.
“I decided to sell the child because my father threatened to kill me if have a child out of wedlock,” she said.
The police commissioner said that the suspects would soon be charged to court.
