The
Itire Division of the Lagos State Police Command has arrested a woman for
allegedly kidnapping three children of the same parents.The Commissioner of Police in Lagos, Mr Fatai Owoseni, who made the disclosure at a press briefing on Thursday, said the children were between ages one and four.
Owoseni said that the children,
including twins, were coming from an Arabic school at about 7 p.m. when the
suspected kidnapper picked the twins up on the road.
He said the suspect went to the
mother of the children and demanded for the one year old baby, which she
obliged.
“It was another woman who saw the
manner the suspect demanded for the child and the mother gave the child out
without any resistance or questions that now raised alarm.
“For the quick intervention of the
police from Itire, the suspect would have been mobbed.
“At first, the suspect acted like a
dumb person but after some tactics used on her by our operative, she started
talking.
“We also got information that she
has mental problem. All that she has said so far are useful for our
investigation,’’ he said.
The commissioner therefore, advised
members of the public to watch each other family members.
Owoseni said that there was need for
parents to take adequate measures for the security of their children in school
and at home.
