THE Lagos Police Command has arrested a couple (name withheld) over an alleged attempt to sell their two-year-old son to travel to Canada.

The command’s spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed this to journalists on Thursday in Lagos.

Mr Hundeyin said the couple, aged 28 and 22, were arrested on Tuesday while attempting to sell the boy off.

The spokesperson said that on Tuesday, at about 2:45 p.m., the Isolo Divisional Police Officer (DPO) received information that a couple went to Isolo General Hospital and declared their intention to sell their baby boy.

“Upon receipt of the information, operatives from the station moved swiftly to the hospital where they were about to sell their child.

“However, the investigation is ongoing,” he said. (NAN)
