The police in Lagos State, western Nigeria, have arrested a 52-year old woman identified as Mrs. Olamide Bello for allegedly buying twin babies for N1.9 million.

According to P.M.NEWS findings, the suspect who resides at 8, Adeniji Street, Meiran, a suburb of Lagos State, with her husband and step-children, told her husband, Mr. Wasiu Bello, that she was pregnant and that she has been instructed to go and deliver of the baby in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital in southern Nigeria.

Mrs. Bello was alleged to have spent two weeks in Port Harcourt before returning to Lagos with twin babies, a boy and a girl, claiming that she gave birth to them.


Curious neighbours who never saw her with pregnancy prior to her trip to Port Harcourt alerted the police at  Alakuko, alleging that they suspected that the woman may have stolen the babies.

Sources said the Divisional Police Officer in charge of Alakuko Police Station, Mr. Musa Alimi, a Chief Superintendent of Police, CSP, instructed some female detectives to investigate the allegation.

P.M.NEWS learnt that when Mrs. Bello was confronted by the female detectives, she insisted that she gave birth to the twins and also suggested the police should take her to a medical doctor to confirm her claim.

It was at the hospital that doctors confirmed that she is not the biological mother of the babies.

At that point she had to confess that she bought the babies in Port Harcourt for N1.9 million.

When her husband, Mr. Wasiu Bello, was arrested and interrogated, he told the police that his wife told him that she was pregnant and wanted to go and deliver of the baby in Port Harcourt.

He said he obliged only for her to come back with the babies claiming she gave birth to twins.

He dissociated himself from the crime.

When P.M.NEWS visited Alakuko Police Station to get the police side of the story, the DPO in charge of the station, CSP Musa Alimi, declined to comment on the arrest, saying he had already transferred the case to Lagos State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, Smith Street, Panti, Lagos State.

All efforts to speak with the Lagos State Police Comamand image maker, Mr. Ken Nwosu proved abortive as his two mobile lines were switched off.

He also failed to respond to the message sent to his Airtel line at the time of filing in this report.

I really don't know what to make of this story.

Husband was told by wife she is prego and wants to deliver in PH. Is d husby that foolish? I expect a grown up man to be able to know if someone is more than 7months pregnant, talk less of having twins in the womb...hmmm. The husband should be questioned properly as well.

If they needed to adopt, they could have done it legally to avoid unnecessary embarrassment.

BTW, I hope this is not the woman we are talking about in pictures.

Nthng new under dis sun

Miracles every where and day.

Nawao...

Eya..I feel for this woman but purchasing babies as if they're regular household accessory is wrong.

people need to understand there's nothing wrong with adoption or artificial insemination.

All this embarrassment could easily have been avoided.

The kidnapping, selling and trafficking of babies is now the new business in Nigeria, I declare Gods protection over my unborn kids, any kid i know and every kid of all nairalander. may none of us here on nairaland come and beg or solicit for support to find our missing babies or pay ransome

D hubby should equally be arrested

Na wa o



Let's hear what people below have to say

X for Xenophobia

Abeg where the woman?

Had it been that the suspect have an Igbo name, by now all the Igbophobias will be heating up this thread.. CRIME is a Personal Issue and it can found among ALL TRIBES.. Just my 2 cent.

1.9million naira is enough to get adopted kids. Why can't she just go for an adoption which is done legally?

Oh Gosh!!

Baring and backward set of people common to constitutionally adopt a child they cannot........





Only in the south-waste

Hmmm...two weeks pregnancy? The husband's name shud be Mr DULLapo!!!

Na wa o

Hilarious

Hmm! If she had that kind of money to spend, why didn't she go and do that Artificial Insemination stuff that ladies do nowadays to get babies. But how did the husband believe her story sef...Just two weeks and she came back with twin babies. Anyway,if you have problem lasting long in bed, hit me up on BBM- 7C22F6EC.

Can one really love a stolen baby like one's real child?

Babies are now commodities!

See her face sef

Where did this woman get 1.9 million?
