The Lagos State Police Command has rescued a two-month-old baby boy from a couple, Mr and Mrs James Uwam, during the naming ceremony of the child in the state.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, in a statement on Saturday, said the couple paid N2,350,000 to buy the baby from a suspected child trafficker, Loretta Nelson, who bought the baby from a pastor, Peter Udoh, for N1,450,000.

Hundeyin said Udoh bought the baby for N500,000 from another suspected child trafficker, Gloria Sunday, who allegedly stole the baby on July 11, 2024, a situation that prompted the mother of the baby to report the case to the police.

Following the report, Hundeyin said the police swung to action and arrested Sunday, who led them to arrest other suspects linked to the crime by detectives attached to the Oko Oba Division of the command.


The PPRO said, “Detectives swung into action which led to the arrest of Gloria Sunday who during interrogation confessed to selling the baby for N500,000 to one Pastor Peter Udoh.

“Pastor Udoh, who was subsequently arrested in Ikene Town, Ogun State, itted reselling the child for N1,450,000 to one Loretta Nelson who was then also apprehended in Festac Town, Lagos.”

Hundeyin said Nelson confessed to selling the baby for N2,350,000 to one Mr. and Mrs. James Uwam who were apprehended during the naming ceremony of the stolen child.


Hundeyin noted that investigations have commenced and the suspects will be arraigned at the court after the investigation.

They must have been doing it till they jammed and messed with the wrong baby that moved round the cartel to ensure that the ever vigilant Lagos Police Command officers can round up all of them in the cartel.

This 'Sherlock Holmes " baby should be declared "Baby of the Year".

Muah to you Baby, you are too much. You truly love your parents and hate crime. May God bless you for us all.
Great applause to the parents and diligent Lagos State Police Command police officers. Great job.

Stop being stereotyping bro. Evils is evils no matter the location

There should be a death sentence for all many of adult kidnapping and child theft.

Imagine all the middlemen/women dealers before the baby got to the final buyer?

Pastor!!!

That word has become very useless.

Once I hear pastor, I immediately think of a criminal.

This life sef… everyone with em cross, but it jst so smooth for some and very rough for many

all these demons sef... the baby changed hand 3 times from 500k to 2.3m...even baba pastor (aka undercover demon in robe) wanted to profit from such abomination!

End time couple

Check the names of all the vagabonds involved, they are all DEVELOPERS. I cannot even imagine buying babies whose origins you do not know, customs, traditions and abominations of the family, you do not know.

You bring such babies into your family and their biological family gods start tormenting your own family. No wonder several of them are in prisons all over the world for child trafficking, drugs trafficking and any other crime you can think of. Many of their girls are selling their bodies in hotels all over the world because the gods of their biological family are tormenting them

That baby's head strong well well

That's the only question I have for God when we eventually meet. Why the partiality

Akwa Ibom has become Igbos today.

All the names mentioned in this particular crime are people from either Akwa Ibom or Cross Rivers states. Read again and see how you have made a fool of yourself.

The average APC Tinubulator has an IQ less than that of a rat.

All the names listed there are either AkwaIbom or Crossrivers names.

These same group of idiots are same clowns that will be screaming 'Ikwerre is not Igbo', but they can't tell the difference between an Igbo name and akwa/cross name.

I spit on their babablu bulabu reasoning.

Thiefnibu hood gave room for the conducive environment
