Further investigation by the Nigerian Tribune revealed that the mother of the baby was impregnated by her boyfriend while staying with her mother and on delivery, she decided to keep the baby with her mother, following the controversy surrounding the pregnancy.
It was gathered that mother raised the alarm when she discovered that her baby was missing shortly after her arrival from the errand her mother sent her to run, while the mother, Kate, denied seeing the baby and raised false alarm that her daughter wanted to implicate her.
A source close to the family in Jos, disclosed that after frantic search for the baby, both within their premises at Rukuba Road in Jos North Local Government Area and the neighbourhood, the mother of the baby, Blessing Godspower, reported to the police.
It was learnt that the police then invited the mother, Kate and other living the premises, while the Kate later confessed in the course of the interrogation that she sold the baby out.

According to the Deputy Police Public Relations Officer (DPPRO) Elvis Abanga, who briefed newsmen, said they met a woman believed to be a child trafficker of Favour Hospital and Maternity, Awo-omamma, who had the male baby in her custody before they could reach the buyer.
He pointed out that during this period, they succeeded to get one Ebere Ngozi Gloria Akalite, of Awada Onitsha, Anambra State, who bought the baby at N500,000.
The DPPRO told the newsmen that the parents of the baby claimed that they only collected N300,000 from the deal.
Mr Abanga explained that the medical director, who employed one Ogechi Ahanna, who attracted the buyer, gave the child's parents only N300,000, claiming that was the amount she sold the baby boy.
