Adejoke Popoola, suspected member of a child-stealing and trafficking syndicate, confessed to selling her own babies and stealing other children for resale. She admitted to selling a newborn baby and a set of twins last year, with the twins reportedly sold for N300,000 to a clinic in Ogeere. Popoola also claimed to have stolen a three-year-old boy during an Egungun festival in Oyo Town, running away with him and laying him on her back to escape.
She admitted to stealing a total of 19 children, with six reportedly dying from the act. Popoola claimed to have been involved in these activities since October 2024, and her actions were uncovered through an intelligence-led investigation by the Oyo State Police Command, resulting in the rescue of 17 children and the arrest of seven suspects.
