The police in Lagos State have declared a manhunt on the buyer of a stolen baby.
The baby was last week, stolen by a house help in the Shomolu area of the state and later sold.
The Police spokesman, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed on Monday that the buyer abandoned the baby as the police dragnet was closing in.
The buyer reportedly abandoned the baby at Alade Market, Shomolu, in the wee hours of Sunday morning.
The baby was promptly rescued by the police and handed over to her parents.
“She has been handed over to her parents after they positively identified her,’’ Hundeyin stated via his X account.
