Ogun Police Arrest Woman for Stealing Baby
SATURDAY Crimewatch learnt that child was stolen from her mother by
one, Mrs. Ifeoluwa Yekini on October 31, 2015, in Abule Ifo, in Ifo
Local Government Area of Ogun State and she was subsequently rescued on
November 14, 2015, following the arrest of the suspect.
According to Mr. Olumuyiwa Adejobi, Ogun State Police Command Public
Relations Officer, trouble began when the suspect, who had been
monitoring the mother of the baby when she was still pregnant, went
under the pretense of felicitating with her at home after delivery and
requested to assist the mother of the newborn baby in strapping her to
her back, which the former obliged.
Adejobi continued: “She further requested to take the mother and baby
out for shopping, which the mother also, obliged. But at the market, the
suspect ran away with the baby to an unknown place. The mother of the
baby, after several efforts to locate suspect with the baby, reported
the case to the police at the Police Divisional Headquarters in Ifo for
search and necessary investigation.
“Meanwhile, the suspect, who had been on some medications to deceive
her husband about being pregnant, took permission from her husband to
visit her parents, in another village, from where she put a phone call
across to her husband that she had put to bed. This was so suspicious
and her relations and neighbours raised the alarm, which compelled her
to flee to Onipanu area in Ota, Ogun state where she was eventually
arrested on November 14, 2015.”
Adejobi, a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) said the suspect was
arrested by combined police teams from Onipanu and Ifo Divisions of the
Command when the suspects, who had been placed under surveillance by the
police was cited in the area.
He said the Commissioner of Police Ogun State Command, CP Abdulmajid Ali has charged parents to protect their children and wards always. Adejobi stressed that the case should be a lesson to all mothers.
The CP, he said, had directed that the case be charged to court, vowing that the command would not tolerate any act of criminality in Ogun State.
