A 50-year-old man was arrested in a rice sack with a little child.

The dad wrapped rice over the young child, who was maybe three years old.

He said the child was his son and that he intended to sell him when he was apprehended.

The father claims to have eight children and that, due to financial constraints, he had to sell one of them to support the others.

According to the Nigerian website “Every Nigeria,” the individual is currently detained by police.

Unfortunately, the boy did not provide any information about the man’s arrest location.
