The Lagos State Police Command has said that a woman, Fortune Obhafuoso, who claimed that a policeman allegedly connived with some yet-to-be-identified persons to pay her N185,000 after collecting her newborn against her will, actually planned to sell the baby for N3million.
“She has refused all entreaties to show up to positively identify her co-conspirators and testify in court. Without her testimony and identification, nothing can be proven beyond reasonable doubt in court. There might, therefore, be a miscarriage of justice,” Hundeyin said, adding that the woman’s presence was paramount to the success of investigations.
“She is a vital witness. Her presence is paramount, as we do not want to embark on a futile prosecution.”early January, the woman had said, “All I want is my baby; I gave birth to him around 12.30am on Friday, December 23, 2022, and immediately named him Joseph. I only breastfed him once because, on the same day I gave birth to him, I was arrested and taken alongside my three children to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, Yaba, Lagos State.
“The last time I saw my newborn was at the SCID, where a policeman, Samuel Ukpabio, connived with people who pretended to help me and stole my baby. “Ukpabio warned me never to return to the station; he said if I returned, my remaining two children would also be taken away.”All rights reserved.
