She said she turned down the offer and tried to walk away, but the stranger continued following her, insisting that an Alhaji was ready to pay N1.5 million for the baby.
Amaka said she became frightened when the man allegedly threatened that she would sell the child “by fire or by force.”
Concerned for her safety, she reportedly sought help from a woman selling food nearby and explained what had happened. The woman then contacted her husband, who works as a vigilante, and he arrived with two other men.
Amaka said the suspect attempted to flee after realising that she had informed others about his actions. His attempt to escape reportedly attracted the attention of other men and youths at a nearby food spot, who helped apprehend him before the police arrived.
Recounting the incident, Amaka wrote:
“I was on my way to school this morning, I didn’t want to go early but we prepared early cause hubby was around.
Only for me to get to the street of my work place and this man in this picture approached me, asking IF I WANTED TO SELL MY UNBORN CHILD I was honestly surprised and told him no and increased my pace but he kept following me telling me Alhaji will pay 1.5m for my innocent pikin. I didn’t even respond to him (I kept calling my hubby and it was saying not reachable and it will be a bad idea for me to go home cause he will definitely follow me) but he followed me to almost my school and made a statement “You go sell by fire or by force”
That’s when I went to the woman who sells food and narrated everything, she quickly called her hubby who is a vigilantee (I pretend like I was buying food and told her everything) he came with 2 boys and was discussing with his wife like he doesn’t know her.
I guess he sensed that I’ve told them and wanted to run, the man raised an alarm and some men and young boys who were eating in mama akara spot came out, that was how he was caught oh, they beat him till police came and took him away. My body have been shaking since morning.
(He was talking to some school children since I refused to answer him, i had to slow down and told them to go to the front that was how I was able to take this picture)
Please let’s be careful out there 🙏
He said he came from keffi yesterday night
