The Rapid Response Squad (RRS) operatives successfully prevented two women from selling a two-month-old baby in Oshodi, Lagos. The operation unfolded when suspicions arose about Oge Okolie, a 25-year-old woman who acted as the middleman between the baby's mother and the potential buyer, as she was believed to have abducted the baby. Benjamin Hundeyin, the spokesperson for the Lagos State Police Command, revealed that passengers on a public bus became alarmed by the continuous crying of a baby in Okolie's possession and questioned why she couldn't breastfeed the child if she was the biological mother.

 

The RRS operatives swiftly intervened to save the suspect from being subjected to mob violence, along with the baby.

Initial inquiries resulted in the apprehension of the baby's mother, identified as Maria Ahmadu, aged 26.

 

CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi, the Commander of RRS, subsequently transferred the suspects and the baby to the Gender Unit of the Command for additional investigation and prosecution.
