We were so intimate and she wanted us to get married. But I didn’t want to marry her because she already has a son. I really don’t know if she saw through my intention but I discovered that she started cheating on me. I didn’t want to lose her to another man so I called my younger brother and told him to find how we can sell her and her son.
My brother got the contact of a baba who wanted to buy the two of them from us at the rate of N600,000. So I lured my girlfriend to follow me to the buyer’s house, I told her we are going to my father house to spend the new year. When we got to the house, the baba who wanted to buy her and the son treated us well. But I noticed that he kept on going out and coming in. At around 11 pm in the midnight, some boys stormed the house and seized all our phones while they took us to the police station.”
