It was gathered that some traders confronted the woman and found out that she was allegedly trying to sale the child.
The traders who doubted if the child was hers however took the woman to the police station to report the matter, leading to the latter’s arrest.
One of the traders who pleaded anonymity said, “The way I see the woman I don’t think she is normal because of how she was acting.”
