The Ogun State Police Command have effected the arrest of three suspects for stealing a 4 year old boy, Hammed Adeniran according to a release by the force public relations officer, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi.
The suspects namely Abubakar Saidu (22) Danladi Abdulkarim (30) and Abdullah Idris (25) were arrested following a complaint by the mother of the child, 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 to only God knows destination .
Following the report, the DPO Warewa division SP Folake Afeniforo quickly mobilized a team of policemen and raised to the bus stop where the men were said to be waiting to board vehicle with the boy in their possession. They were subsequently arrested with the help of members of the public.
Upon interrogation, the three suspects who claimed to have come from jigawa state can not give any reasonable account of why the child was seen with them or why they wanted to board commercial bus with the child.
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 state criminal investigation and intelligence department for discreet investigation and possible prosecution.
The CP therefore advised parents to always take the security and wellbeing of their children serious in order to shield them from those looking for every means to be rich.
