Woman In Hijab kidnaps And Disappears With 4 Children In Ibadan

Drama ensued on Tuesday [ Nov. 18 ], at Yemetu area of Ibadan,when a woman on hijab, who having allegedly kidnapped four children, disappeared shortly after being sighted by some residents of the area.



The Nigerian Tribune gathered that there was uneasy calm in the area when the residents, who had earlier seen the kidnapper with the four children, found out to their consternation that  she  had disappeared  with the children from the scene, a few hours after the incident happened.

Oyo State Police Public Relations Officer Olabisi Ilobanafor, who confirmed the report, said that investigation  into the matter had commenced, to manhunt the alleged kidnapper and the allegedly missing children.

She said: “The allegation was brought to us that one woman with hijab, kidnapped four children. We are investigating and the investigation will reveal whether it is true or not.”

Ilobanafor also appealed to members of the public to allow the law take its normal course, rather than take the law into their hands.

The Divisional Police Officer at Yemetu, Abure David, speaking on the incident, said the case was brought to the notice of the police, adding that he had deployed three patrol teams to search for the children, just as he stated that as at 10:30a.m the patrol team had not found the children.

An angry mob was later dispersed with canisters of tear gas as they were vehement that the police produce the missing children, since the report was already lodged at the police station.

Police Watch Helplessly As Female Kidnapper Burns To Ashes In Lagos [Graphics Pix]

An angry mob set ablaze a suspected female kidnapper on Tuesday on Ekoro Road at Abule Egba area of Lagos after she was caught with three children.
The woman was said to have kidnapped the three children who were on their way to school in the area at about 7a.m this morning while pretending she was taking them to school but she ran out of luck as she was spotted by a bread seller who raised an alarm.

According to an eyewitness who identified himself as Ikisa, she tried to escape but was caught by a mob. When she was questioned on the ownership of the children, she claimed they were hers but when they realized she was lying, they beat her thoroughly, hung a tyre on her neck, poured petrol on her and set her ablaze.

Other sources said the unidentified woman came with a jeep which she parked at a distance and the car was later taken to the Oke-Odo Police Station, while others said she wanted to take the children into a tricycle before she was caught.
Policemen from the Oke-Odo Police Station watched helplessly as she had burnt completely before they got to the scene.

Residents however expressed satisfaction over the jungle justice meted out to the woman, saying that if she had been taken to the Police Station,  she would have been set free by the police.
A policeman, who pleaded anonymity said that no arrest could be made as it could be ascertained who set the woman ablaze.

The police could also not confirm whether the woman came with a jeep or whether the jeep had been taken to the station or not as the Divisional Police Officer of Oke-Odo Police said he was at a meeting.

Jungle justice is becoming very rampant. Just yesterday, a woman was burnt to death in Ondo state while three suspected kidnappers were set ablaze in Ogun state about two weeks ago.
