The Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Delta State Police Command has arrested child traffickers who engage in selling of babies from pregnant girls to couples who don't have children.

SARS has since rescued five children from families where they have been sold within Delta, Anambra, Cross River, Akwa-Ibom and Rivers state. The suspects said:

“We sold babies between 1-5 years of age to those who have been married for several years without children. Some of us are nurses and supportive members of staff of health institutions.

We do not know how the police got wind of our illicit businesses while we were operating in Asaba and Onitsha. In most cases, a child costs between N250,000 to N500,000 while grown-up ones are sold for N1m.”

The suspects took SARS to Akwa ibom state where two other children were rescued and two other members of the vang arrested. One of the suspects said:

“Since their mothers cannot take care of their babies because of lack of money, we normally arrange for wealthy parents who have no children but in need of children, to come and buy from us and take them away. We issue receipts of payment to them, we don’t steal the children as police are alleging but the mothers of these children in most cases opt for their children to be sold. Some of them don’t even know the men who impregnate them while some would be hiding from their parents. So we actually help them to solve their problems”.

“We were just helping out some persons who are in need. We are not human traffickers even though we make money from it. The mothers of the babies wanted to throw them away so we came to assist these young girls so that they would not throw away the babies or kill them.”

The Delta state police command has taken charge and is to bring this suspects to book.

The woman on green pants be like "how do I get out of this one now since SARS is the one involved not police.."

This is gradually becoming a serious issue in this country.


Why can't the buyers go to orphanage houses around and adopt one legally.

Come to think that the adoption procedures are quite easily done and completed over here, people will still do it the other way round.
