For over 20 years, around 180 households in the community have relied on illegal electrical connections pulled from neighboring areas to power their homes.

Man, 52 In Police Net For Attempting To Sell Daughter At N20m

The police in Makurdi are grilling a 52-year old man, James Beetse, for attempting to sell his four-year old daughter.

Beetse was nabbed by the Police in Makurdi, following a tip off by a man who pretended to be a prospective "buyer of children."

A source at the Nigeria Police, Benue State Command headquarters Makurdi, where the matter is undergoing investigation says Beetse had instructed his cousin, Agisha Dooyum, to help him scout for someone that would buy his daughter. It was in the process of looking for a buyer that luck ran out of them.

None of the accused denied the allegation. Beetse however, says he does not know what came over him, adding that he nearly shaded tears when he saw his daughter at the "police station."

It is understood that Beetse and his wife relocated to the 72 SF Battalion area of North Bank Makurdi from Naka, following armed attacks in his area.

The source at the police headquarters says "nobody will suspect the man to be responsible for stealing children." as he looks innocent and quiet.

Beetse and his accomplice were charged to court today.
