Edo State Police Command says its operatives have rescued a 14-month-old baby, Grace Osamagbe, who was abducted by her nanny, Rejoice Chukwu, in April.
The Commissioner of Police in the state, Umoru Ozigi, revealed this to newsmen on Saturday in Benin, the state capital.
Ozigi said the anti-kidnapping and Cyber Crime unit arrested the 24-year-old Chukwu and her boyfriend, Destiny Uchechukwu in Uyo, Akwa-Ibom State.
The police boss said the suspects abducted the child in Benin and collected a ransom of N160,000.
“In spite of receiving the ransom, the suspects allegedly sold the baby for N500,000 to Doris Chiwendu in Owerri, Imo State.
“Following intense interrogation, police tracked down Chiwendu and another suspect, Jane Amaigbo, in Ubomiri, Imo State, and rescued the baby on November 9,” he said.
According to him, the suspects would soon be charged to court.
