Tension As Unidentified Woman Flees With 13-Month-Old Baby In Rivers

admin

An unidentified woman in a commercial tricycle reportedly snatched a 13-month-old baby girl, Chinazamepkere Eke, from her six-year-old sister in Rumuokurusi community, Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers at about 8:30 am on Monday and fled.

According to Punch, the suspect had allegedly instructed the ‘keke’ rider to get close to the six-year-old girl identified as Chinyere Agbai, who was carrying the baby on her back, before snatching the baby.

The baby’s mum, Oluchi Eke, who is separated from her husband, revealed she was in her shop where she sells provisions when she heard the distressing news.

The 31-year-old mum of two, who has since reported the child theft to the police, said:

“This thing happened on Monday; my first daughter was carrying the little girl to the shop on the road around Orianwo Street, by Tank junction in Rumuokurusi.

A woman in a keke dragged the little baby into the Keke and went away with my child. The baby that was carrying the little girl is six years.

I was in my shop while the two children were coming to meet me because they had returned from their extra-moral class.

When the thing happened, I went to Elimbgu Police Station to report it. The police said I should be coming to the station. I have put everything in God’s hands.”

She also revealed she had not informed her estranged husband, Mr. Okechukwu Agbai, about the incident yet and was not sure if he was aware already, adding that she doesn’t suspect his involvement.

“I am not in good term with my husband. I am not suspecting my husband to have a hand in the act. The baby is one year, one month now.

My husband’s name is Mr Okachukwu Agbai. I have not called him after the incident happened. I don’t know if he has heard of it. I have been calling his number for over two months now, but it is not going. I have two children, two girls and they have taken one.

My husband did not claim ownership of the baby. I want the world to hear of the stealing of my child and I appeal to the police to help me to find my baby,” she said.
