She said:
"I
was given the baby to throw away, so I gave it to Taofeek. I met him at
Alagbado area where I live. Taofeek has been coming to me for parts of
dead babies. At first, I refused, but I was forced to succumb to his
pleas by my financial situation.
My house
rent was due and my children school fees had not been paid, so when he
approached me last year, I had no other choice but to do his bidding. He
paid me N15,000 for the first dead baby which was delivered to him."
The
police have begun investigations into the matter after it was
discovered that the baby found with Fagbemi was taken without its
mother's consent.
