Men of the Plateau State Police
Command have rescued an eight-
month old baby girl, who was allegedly
sold by her grandmother in Jos, Plateau
State.

baby was sold in Jos few weeks ago,
but was rescued in Onitsha, Anambra
on Wednesday.
She was rescued by men of the 'A'
Division of the state police after a
complaint by the mother and a tip-off
by some members of the public.
A police source told our correspondent
that the mother of the baby was
allegedly impregnated by her boyfriend
while she was staying with her
grandmother at Rukuba area of Bassa

The grandmother was said to have
been displeased with the birth of the
baby and sought to dispose of her
secretly.

woman living at Army Engineers area

times. Our men went to Onitsha and
they came back with the baby in the
early hours of Thursday (yesterday).
