-By Joseph Omoniyi
A 43-year old Sweden-based Nigerian, Stephany Bassey has been arrested by The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, NAPTIP for allegedly purchasing a two-month-old baby.
NAPTIP’s Director of Investigation and Monitoring, Josiah Emerole, who made this known in Abuja on Friday, explained that, NAPTIP was notified of the case by the officers of the Intelligence and International Cooperation, adding that the suspect was nabbed after she was handed over by the Embassy of Sweden in Nigeria.
“The suspect went to the Embassy to procure travel documents for a two-month-old baby boy whom she claimed was her child.
“She claimed to have become pregnant for her husband in Sweden but that medical examination could not detect the pregnancy over there.
“Then she was advised to return home to Uyo, Akwa Ibom state where the pregnancy would be detected and she will be assisted to deliver safely.
