A young woman, Blessing John, has been arrested by men of the Adamawa State police command allegedly trying to sell a boy she abducted to ritualists.

Blessing, 18, was said to have lured the boy from Michika LGA and taken him to Mubi to sell to ritualists.

 The Adamawa police spokesman, DSP Sulaiman Nguroje, said the suspect admitted that she abducted the buy in order to raise money to buy a car, adding that her arrest followed a tipoff.

 “She took the little boy to Mubi to sell, but when she could not reach the buyers on phone, she decided to search for another buyer. She ended up talking to the wrong person, who in turn informed the police,” he stated.

 The police spokesman called on parents to be vigilant, look after their wards and report any suspicious persons and movements to the nearest police post.
