A 26-year-old lady identified as Bunmi Adebayo has been paraded for allegedly stealing a three-week-old baby, David Oluwaseun on Sunday, July 1 in, Ogun state.
The suspect, who resided in Magboro, Ogun State stated that she stole the baby out of desperation to have a baby after 10-years of marriage, but was arrested on Saturday at Orile Imo.
The Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Iliyasu, said, “the suspect took her desperation too far.”
He said, ‘’the suspect had lied to her husband, who used to visit her at her abode at intervals, that she was pregnant. And after nine months, Iliyasu, said, the suspect called her husband and broke the news that she had been delivered of a baby boy’’.
‘’The news gladdened the heart of the husband, Gbenga Adebayo, who rushed down to her residence. But, he was said to have become curious when he demanded the placenta and the suspect was unable to present it.
Iliyasu explained that when the husband asked her to breastfeed the baby in his presence, she was unable to do so.
‘’Having realised the curiosity of her husband, she was said to have absconded from home, and her husband had to report to the Police that his wife was missing.
The Police search team caught up with her at Orile Imo, where she was arrested and the baby was rescued.
