The Nation news paper is reporting that a suspected kidnapper identified as Eno pictured above, kidnapped three children and a four month old baby and was on her way to the kidnappers den when luck ran out of her.
The four-month-old baby started crying on a public bus which the kidnapper boarded and all attempt to calm the baby failed.
The cry of the baby, carried by Eno, the suspected kidnapper, who was accompanied by a teenager, inside an Iddo, Lagos-bound Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) vehicle, attracted other passengers.
Worried by the baby’s cry, other women inside the bus asked Eno to breastfeed her.
But she refused. She was also unable to pet the baby to stop crying.
Suspecting her, the passengers were said to have alerted men of Iddo Police Station, Railway Terminus, who promptly arrested her and her accomplice.
At the police station, Eno again refused all entreaties to breastfeed the baby. Instead, she brought out a feeding bottle containing an orange-colour watery substance, which the baby refused to take.
Eno, who initially told the police that she lives at Iyana-Oba, Majidun in Ikorodu, later said she stays at Igando.
Asked for her husband’s phone number, she claimed she does not know it, adding that she does not have a phone.
One of the kidnapped kids named Happiness said she lives at the Air Force Base, Ikeja and gave her father’s name as Effiong. She said they were taken from their home by the woman (Eno).
That woman is not my mother. My name is Happiness. This is my sister Patience. My daddy’s name is Effiong. He is at the Air Force Base.
My mother and daddy are in the house. I do not know her (Eno); she is not my mother. And I do not know her.
Eno again changed her story, saying the children’s father is one Effiong who works as a cleaner at the Air Force Base.
She claimed Happiness rejected her because she was arrested by the Task Force on Environment few months after she gave birth to her, adding that the girl doesn’t really know her.
She said:
They are my children, I am their mother. If you think I am lying, let us go to the Air Force Base and meet their father.
I was arrested by former Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola when she (Happiness) was like this baby I am carrying now. Their father signed the paper for Fashola to take me away.
It was while I was with Fashola that I gave birth to this one (Patience) and this one I’m carrying now is four months old. I have five children, two with another man and these three with Effiong.
According to police investigation, the newly hired maid kidnapped the children in a bid to collect huge ransom from their parents.
The children have been handed over to their parents.
