Prostitute Arrested For Selling Her Three-Week-Old Baby For N600k 

Police in Ogun State have arrested Mary Olatayo, a 23-year-old commercial prostitute, for allegedly selling her three-week-old baby for 600,000 naira.

The suspect was apprehended on August 18, 2022, along with her friend and accomplice, Chioma Esther Ogbonna.

The command’s spokesperson, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said in a statement on Thursday, August 25, that the suspect was arrested following a complaint from the baby’s father, who reported at Mowe Divisional Police Headquarters that after he started dating Olatayo, she became pregnant, and that he rented an apartment for her, where she lived until she gave birth to a baby boy.

“He complained further that the lady suddenly disappeared with the baby from the apartment three weeks after delivery, only for her to be found in an hotel, where she allegedly went for a “hookup” with another man. He said all efforts to know where the baby was proved futile.

On interrogation, Olatayo confessed to the Police that she has sold the baby to someone in Anambra State for N600,000. She confessed that it was her friend, Chioma Esther Ogbonna, who led her to the buyer in Anambra State and that they both shared the money equally. Her confession led to the arrest of Ogbonna, who also corroborated Olatayo’s claims.

Further investigation revealed that Olatayo, a native of Omu-Aran in Kwara State, is a call girl, who sees the baby as a disturbance to her business, hence she decided to do away with the baby,” the statement reads in part.
