The Ogun State Police Command has arrested the trio of Abubakar Saidu, 22, Danladi Abdulkarim, 30 and Abdullah Idris, 25 for "stealing" a 4-year-old boy, Hammed Adeniran on 24th January 2020.
The Command's spokesman, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi hinted that the arrest of the suspects followed a complaint by the mother of the child, one Nimota Adeniran who reported at Warewa Police Station that she was alerted by one of her neighbours that her son was sighted with three strange men at Arepo Bus Stop along Lagos-Ibadan expressway where they were waiting to board a vehicle.
"On the strength of the report, the DPO Warewa Division,SP Folake Afeniforo quicky mobilized a team of policemen and raced to the bus stop where the men were said to be waiting to board a vehicle", Oyeyemi stated. He went further that "on getting there, the three men were met with the child in their possession and were promptly arrested with the help of members of the public".
The three suspects who claimed to have come from Jigawa State could not give any reasonable account of why the child was seen with them or why they wanted to board a commercial bus with the child.
Police authorities confirmed that the child has been reunited with his parents while the suspects are undergoing interrogation.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Kenneth Ebrimson has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspects to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for discrete รก investigation and possible prosecution.
