Baby Buyers Arrested In Asaba Delta State With Stolen Children

Police in Delta State at the weekend paraded a 32-year-old woman, Madam Abigail Nwakama aka Madam Cash, for being the leader of a child trafficking syndicate. It was discovered that Nwakama bought a 13-month-old baby, Fatima Yahaya, from her agents for a paltry sum of N3,500.


The baby was abducted by two ladies, Nnoruka Obioma (21) and Chidimma Anikwesiri (20), believed to be Nwakama’s agents. Obioma and Anikwesiri reportedly impersonated officials of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) to abduct the Fatima.

Fatima’s mother, Aisha Yahaya, raised the alarm which attracted the attention of police detectives, who soon smoked out Obioma and Anikwesiri from their hideout while they were attempting to escape with Fatima. Madam Cash reportedly hid the baby at her drinking ‘joint’ at Stop Abortion Junction in Asaba, awaiting buyer.

But detectives arrested her and another 32-year-old woman, Ifeoma Anyadike, at Okpanam. The state Commissioner of Police, Zanna Ibrahim, paraded Nwakama and her gang members as well as 38 suspected kidnappers, armed robbers and cultists at the state Police Command Headquarters, Asaba, Ibrahim said detectives burst the kidnappers’ hideout at Okpanam axis of Asaba, before the suspects led policemen to their main hideout at Ogidi in Anambra State where a pastor, Chinedu Strongman, a member of the syndicate, hid 12 stolen babies.
