Operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) on Friday, May 26, 2023, successfully foiled an attempt by two women to allegedly sell a two-month-old baby.

A statement from the spokesperson of the Lagos state police command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, says the deal was uncovered in Oshodi when one Oge Okolie, aged 25, the intermediary between the mother of the baby and prospective buyer was suspected of stealing the baby.

Passengers on a public bus noticed ceaseless crying from the baby with Okolie and asked why she could not breastfeed the child if she was the biological mother.

Benjamin said the suspect was about to be lynched when RRS operatives quickly stepped in to rescue her as well as the baby. Preliminary investigations led to the arrest of the mother of the baby, one Maria Ahmadu ‘f’ aged 26.

He added that the commander of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi, has since transferred the suspects and baby to the Gender Unit of the Command for further investigation and prosecution.

Sky News reported that A member of the United Kingdom Parliament, Carol Monaghan, has kicked against the United Kingdom’s new visa policy preventing Nigerian students, and others studying in the UK, from bringing family as dependents except under specific circumstances.

While speaking at parliament on Wednesday, Monaghan stated that students made valuable contributions to the UK’s economy.

According to her, International students enriched the UK’s society in all sectors, including healthcare.

“International students make an invaluable contribution to the economy,” she said In the video that went viral on Thursday, the lawmaker added, “The reality is that many students who come into the UK look beyond their studies and want their families to be part of their experience.

“Withholding overseas students from bringing their families, many will opt to go elsewhere and any drop in international students numbers will cause further harm to universities that are already facing financial difficulties.”
