Police arrest suspected abductor, free three school kids in Ekiti
The Joint Security Team comprising police, army, and civil defence corps on Thursday, January 28, arrested a woman identified as Mrs Tawa Kazeem, for an alleged attempt to kidnap three schoolchildren in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State.
The command’s Spokesperson, Sunday Abutu, who confirmed the arrest, said the security team also rescued the three children allegedly from the woman.
According to him, “The children narrated that the woman pleaded with them to help her carry her bag containing some items to an unknown destination. The children said that they refused initially, but after a few moments of conversing with the woman, they became unconscious and started following the woman with her bag.
It took the quick intervention of some mechanics around who noticed their suspicious movement to stop them. When asked about the children, she claimed that the children belonged to her. But the scenario changed immediately when the children countered her that she was not their mother.
During interrogation by the personnel of the Anti-Kidnapping Unit, the woman could not satisfactorily state her mission and reason for trying to lead the school children to an unknown destination.”
