ASP Abimbola Oyeyemi, the command's spokesman stated that "the
suspect stole the child in July 2017 during the monthly Holy Ghost Congress of the Church. The mother of the child reported that the child
was stolen by an unknown person when she went to pack the children's
clothes in the new auditorium where she had gone for prayers with her
husband. All efforts to know the whereabouts of the child since then
proved abortive.
Luck
however ran out on the suspect on the 29th of December when the child
was sighted inside the youth center at Redemption Camp during the children's end of the year party organized by the church".
Oyeyemi also disclosed that "on
receiving the information, the DPO, Redeemed Division, SP Olaiya Martins
led detectives to the center where they waited until the end of the
program when the suspect came out to pick the child and was promptly
arrested.She has since confessed to the crime.
She admitted that she
lured child out of her parents sight and took her to Ofada area where
she has been taking care of the child since then. Investigation further
revealed that the suspect had earlier got pregnant for somebody in Lagos
but travelled to the North where she claimed she has delivered of a
baby girl. But when she came back from the North,she didn't came with
the baby which made the man who impregnated her to be putting pressure
on her to bring his child for him. She later informed her relatives that
she was going to Nasarawa State to bring the child but went to Redemption Camp where she stayed for some days before succeeding in
stealing the child which she presented to her relations as her daughter".
Meanwhile,
the Commissioner of Police,CP Ahmed Ilyasu has ordered the immediate
transfer of the suspect to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for further investigation and prosecution.
