Hammed Shittu  in Ilorin

Some suspected kidnappers at the weekend  abducted a two-month- old baby from her mother at the school graduation premises at Deeper Life area, Sawmill, Ilorin, Kwara State.

The incident, according to THISDAY checks, happened at the end of the year and school graduation ceremony.

The two-month-old baby identified as Usman Idris was allegedly stolen from her mother when the ceremony was going on at the school premises.

Already, sources at the police command told THISDAY  yesterday that the men of the anti- kidnapping  of the command had begun man hunting of the kidnappers.

THISDAY checks revealed that the incident occurred around 3:00 pm on Saturday during the event.

The mother of the missing child, Sekinah  popularly known as Iya Mujidat, confirmed the issue to our correspondent  yesterday.

She described the suspect as a “tall fair complexion woman” dressed in a purple Ankara with a black headscarf.

According to her, “She is a Christian and came to me about two weeks ago that she wanted to learn how to make snacks.

“I accepted her but I don’t know any of her family member or where she stays and don’t even have her number. We went to the graduation together and she offered to help me carry the baby when I accompanied the elder brother to collect his certificate who was graduating.”

“That was the last we saw of her. We have reported the case at ‘A’ Division police station in Surulere, Ilọrin but yet to hear from them,” the mother added.

However, sources at the police command, who sought anonymity confirmed the incident.

But, calls to the police spokesman, Ajayi Okasanmi (SP) were not answered before the filing of this report.
