Cameroonian couple with a two-week-old baby boy suspected to have been stolen have been arrested by officials of the Nigeria Immigration Service in Cross River.
The Cross River State Command of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) cautioned couples or singles planning on smuggling or trafficking babies to have a rethink.
It says monitoring had been stepped up to ensure further arrests.

The State Comptroller of Immigration, Mrs Funke Adeuyi, gave the caution in Calabar, the Cross River State Capital following an arrest of a Cameroonian couple with a two-week-old baby boy suspected to have been stolen.
Briefing reporters at the State Command, the immigration boss said, the suspects were arrested at the Nfum Control Post in Eteng Government Area of the State baba border patrol team.
According to her, the suspects were arrested after the first line of interrogation which proved that, their surnames and that of the baby didn’t match neither did the date and place of birth given by the supposed mother match.
The couple have been handed over to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons for further investigation and prosecution.
