LUCKY ESCAPE: Mfon Bassey was about to be sold for N3Million when the plan was foiled by authorities.
A child trafficking gang has been arrested after their plot to sell a 10year old boy in Calabar for N3 million was foiled. The gang allegedly attempted to sell the boy who goes by the name of Mfon Bassey in Bogobiri area of Calabar before they were rounded up by security forces.

Luckily for the boy that was about to be sold off, the three suspects were arrested when one of the persons who wanted to buy the boy provided information to the police about the plot. Sources say the prospective buyer alerted the authorities when the terms and agreements of the deal were allegedly violated by the gang.
Speaking to the press, SSS Assistant Director, Mr. Bassey Ntewo said the suspects arrested includes, a watch seller (who allegedly facilitated the sale), a 28-year-old uncle of the boy, and a tailor who was ready to pay the N3 million price tag for the boy.
10 year old Mfon Bassey lives with his sick mother, a farmer who lives in Calabar as well. Authorities have confirmed that the suspects are in police custody and that the key suspect has confessed to getting paid N3 million for each human being he produced to the kidnapping gang.
