Following recent disturbing
trends involving the selling of babies within and outside the country
especially in some Motherless Baby’s Homes across the country, the
Inspector-General of Police, Acting IGP Suleiman Abba, NPM, NPOM, mni,
has directed all Assistant Inspectors-General of Police in charge of Zonal
Commands, State Command Commissioners of Police and other Police field
Commanders to put measures in place so as to put an immediate end to the
illegal sale of babies in the country.
While reiterating that all the
Motherless Babies Homes and Centres in their respective domains should be
properly monitored so as to nip in the bud the trafficking of babies within and
outside the country, the IGP directed that all Police personnel should be
thoroughly lectured on this subject.
The IGP therefore called on the
members of the public to furnish the Police with the necessary information that
will help in addressing this heinous crime.
