The Western Nigeria Security Network, also known as the Amotekun Corps, has arrested Daniel Chigozie for allegedly selling his son to three different buyers in Ogun State.
The state Commandant of the Corps, David Akinremi, revealed that the Corps received intelligence that Chigozie, 30, had sold his nine-month-old son, Daniel Chinonye Darlington, to three different buyers in the Sango, Meiran, and Apapa areas of Lagos.
Between August 2022 and February 2023, he was said to have sold the baby for N150,000, N400,000, and N700,000 to unknown buyers.
Chigozie, who resides at Abela, Sango-Ota, in the Ado-Odo Local Government Area of the state confessed to the crime.

“The suspect in his statement confessed to the crime and he is being processed to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) for a follow-up investigation to recover the child and prosecution,” Akinremi said.
Akinremi added that findings by the corps revealed Chigozie had devised a means through which the son was retrieved from each of the buyers after each sale until he sold him to the last buyer, identified as Dr. Nosa, in Apapa.
