43-year-old Nana Kofi Marfo has been arrested by Kasoa police for selling the daughter of his brother.
Harboring the tought of selling his niece, he visited his hometown in Akyem Ayiribi in the Eastern Region and told his brother that he would like to take the eldest of his three children to the city for proper education.
The brother willinging gave him the go head to take the 6-year-old to his residence at Obolo Estate in Gomoa Bududuram.
On reaching his area he was discussing his thouhgt with his friend so he can get a willing buyer real quick.
A man in the area got wind of this and quickly informed the Kasoa Police who would disguise themselves as willing buyers.
The police phoned the man that someone says he has a kid to sell and they and interested.
They met at a coded location to negotiate and when they quoted GHS100,000 he insisted on GHS150,000 or no deal.
The police went and brought a bag full of cash, the man came with the kid and told her that “this is the man you will be staying with for school”.
The police asked him if he’s ready to part ways with the kid because they don’t want any future snitching when his family start giving him pressure,
He answered in affirmative that he is using the money to fund a visa to Canada and that when he leaves Ghana no one will ever hear about him.
Strangely this man himself has three children but he overlooked all of them to sell his brother’s child.
The police eventually revealed their true identify and arrested him.
