After going through nine months of pregnancy, which was followed by a successful delivery, a mother named Esther Johnny allegedly connived with a doctor to sell her baby boy for N300,000 to a woman in Abuja.
Luckily, the Akwa Ibom State Police Command has retrieved the baby, David Johnny.
It was learnt that the mother initially denied knowledge of the crime as the police intensified efforts to unravel the whereabouts of the baby.
The Assistant Commissioner of Police, State Criminal Investigation Department, Akwa Ibom State, Mike Okoli, said when the police apprehended the doctor, he tried to frustrate police investigation into the matter.
He added that the police had to tell the doctor that they would charge him to court for child kidnapping if he failed to produce the missing child.
Further investigation into the matter is still currently on going, hence, the two culprits would be charged to court.
