Nigerian Woman In Ghana Reportedly Nabbed, Receives Multiple Slaps From Residents After Being Caught Selling Her Child For ¢2K

A Nigerian woman living in Ghana was reportedly apprehended by a group of men after being accused of selling her child for GH¢2,000, amid separate claims that she struggles with substance abuse.

According to the reports circulating online, the woman was confronted by the group following allegations that she had sold her own child for the stated amount, with claims of drug or substance abuse cited as a contributing factor behind her alleged actions.

Details surrounding the incident, including the identity of the woman, the child’s current whereabouts, and whether police have taken over the case, remain unclear.

The claim comes amid a broader, well-documented pattern of alleged child trafficking and exploitation cases involving Nigerian nationals in Ghana in recent months, including a case in the Upper East Region’s Talensi District in July 2026, where Ghana Police arrested three suspects accused of trafficking a young Nigerian woman into forced prostitution and attempting to sell her newborn baby for GH¢20,000.

Given the seriousness of the allegations and the limited verified details currently available, the claim should be treated as unconfirmed pending any official statement from the Ghana Police Service.
