Police Nab Three Over Kidnap Of Three-Month-Old Baby
The Police in Nasarawa State have arrested three persons for allegedly kidnapping a three-month-old baby girl.
The suspects, two men and a woman (names withheld) from Ugwieme in Ehgor Local Government Area of Edo State, were arrested by one Cpl. Halinu Abubakar, attached to the Crimminal Investigation Department of the police.
Mr John Emego, officer in charge of the ‘A’ Division Mararaba in Nasarawa State, said that the suspects were arrested with the help of a bus driver and his conductor on Febrary 5.
Emego said that the suspects, who are now in custody at ‘A’ Division, Mararaba, would soon have their case transferred to Asokoro Police Station. Abuja where the crime was committed for further investigation.
The mother of the baby, Mrs Elizabeth Amos of Asokoro Guruduma Village, Abuja said she knew the female suspect through one of her neighbours, who claimed to be her boyfriend.
Amos said that she was with her baby, Gift Solomon, in her shop when the female suspect came around to her shop with one other person, whom she claimed to be her brother.
“She insisted that she wanted to greet my baby and before I knew it, she had taken my baby away.
“My first child drew my attention to what had happened, and I started looking for her and to my greatest surprise, I did not see her,” she said.
Amos further explained that she then called on his brother, one Joseph, to go to Asokoro Motor Park to look for the woman and her friend.
“When we got there, the boyfriend told me that he did not see her, he later decided to call her, but we could not locate her.
“To my surprise, the police called to tell me that my baby had been found and now in Mararaba police station,” she said.
Emego told newsmen that the suspects took a bike to Asokoro Motor Park, where they later entered a bus to Mararaba in Nasarawa State to meet with whosoever that sent them.
He said that the baby was crying helplessly in the bus and the conductor overheard their conversation on how to drop at Mararaba in order to feed the baby with milk.
Emego said both the driver and the conductor insisted that the suspects should be questioned, that was when Mr Halinu Abubakar identified himself as a police officer.
He then insisted that they must all follow him to the police station, where the suspects later confessed.
Emego advised parents to always watch the person they associated with in order to avert such unpleasant situation.
