Gunmen Abduct Six-Year Old Girl In Enugu

Unknown gunmen have abducted a six-year old girl, Miss
Kosisochukwu Akilo, from her family house in Enugu.

The mother of the girl, Mrs Ebele Akilo, told our source in
Enugu last Tuesday that the gunmen broke into their house in the early hours of
Sunday.

Mrs Akilo said the two armed men broke into the house
located at No. 56, River Lane, GRA, Enugu around 2 a.m. on Sunday through the
toilet window.

She said the men demanded for money and her trinkets but she
told them that she did not have any as her trinkets were stolen barely a month
ago.

Akilo said they later asked for her children and she showed
them where the four of them were sleeping, adding that they quickly grabbed her
second daughter, collected her phone and left the house on a bike.

“I cried and begged them to leave my daughter but they
refused. I am calling on everybody to please help me find my daughter,’’ she
said.

Akilo, who works with the state Ministry of Lands, said the
kidnappers had yet to contact the family.

When contacted, the Public Relations Officer of the state
police command, Mr Ebere Amaraizu, confirmed the report, saying the police were
working on the rescue of the child.

“We have mounted intensive search for the child and I assure
you that she will be rescued,’’ Amaraizu said.
