Woman kidnapped 2-year-old in Lagos because she needed someone to play with
Woman arrested for kidnapping a two-year-old girl in Lagos as a result of loneliness and needed someone to play with.
A 35-year-old Jumoke Adesida, a resident of Odo-Kekere village in Ogun State, allegedly stole 2-year-old child named Rokibat Raji on June 22 at her mother's shop, which is located at 12, Kazeem Adeboye Street, Jerry Farm, Odogunyan, Ikorodu, Lagos.
According to police report; the victim’s mother, Aminat Abidoye, 38, had reported the disappearance of her child at Shagamu-Road Division, prompting the state Commissioner of Police, Imohimi Edgal, to direct the Anti-Kidnapping unit to handle the matter.
He said: "Their efforts paid off as the missing child was traced to Jumoke Adesida, 35, in Odo-Kekere Village, Ogun State. During interrogation, Adesida confessed to the crime. She explained that she needed the child to play with as her husband has taken her only child away from her.
"The suspect would be charged to court as soon as investigation is concluded."
