A shocking incident of child abduction has rocked the Ogun State community, as Favour Iwuozor, a 14-year-old housemaid, was arrested by the Ogun State Police Command for allegedly kidnapping her employer's 2-year-old son. The incident occurred on a Sunday, when Favour attended a church service with the family.
According to eyewitnesses, the family attended a church service, and the mother, a trader, received a call from one of her customers. She left the church, instructing Favour to ensure that her children, including the 2-year-old toddler, returned to her shop after the service. However, Favour had other plans.
*The Abduction*
Favour, who had been entrusted with the care of the children, took advantage of the situation and fled with the 2-year-old toddler. She claimed to be taking the child to her hometown in Imo State, but her actions raised suspicions when she was spotted begging for alms with the child in Yaba, Lagos. Favour pretended that the child was her younger brother, and that their parents had died in an accident.
*The Hero*
A compassionate woman, Victoria Nwafor, took pity on the child and Favour, and decided to take them in. She cared for the child's deteriorating health condition, and provided them with food and shelter. However, when the child recovered, Favour's intentions became clear. She wanted to single-handedly take the child to Imo State, which aroused Nwafor's suspicion.
*The Arrest*
Nwafor reported the incident to the Sagamu divisional headquarters, and the police swiftly acted on the report. The DPO, CSP Okiki Agunbiade, detailed his detectives to track down Favour and the child. They were eventually found, and Favour was arrested.
During interrogation, Favour confessed to taking the child without permission, intending to take him to her hometown in Imo State. She revealed that she took the child from the church during the Sunday school period, and that the Sunday school teacher knew her and had no problem releasing the child to her.
*The Investigation*
The police are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the abduction. They are working to reunite the child with his family and ensure that justice is served. The case has raised concerns about child safety and the need for parents to be vigilant about who they entrust their children to.
*Conclusion*
The arrest of Favour Iwuozor serves as a reminder of the importance of child safety and the need for vigilance. Parents and guardians must be careful about who they entrust their children to, and ensure that their children are safe and protected. The police are working to ensure that justice is served, and the child is reunited with his family.
