The Ogun State command has paraded a woman identified as Asmau for allegedly kidnapping the two children of her employer and using them to beg for alms in Lagos state.
Asmau serves as Housemaid of mother of two, for a period of four months before the kidnapping incident occur. The kidnapped children named Amina,6 , and Rukayya, 7.
While Speaking with Newsmen on Thursday, the mother of the kids narrated how the incident has happened.
The housemaid is collecting the sum of N500 daily as money for what she is offering
Hawau (the Mother) said, “During the Sallah holiday in July, I planned to send my daughters to their grandparents in Lagos for holiday and I invited her brother to come down to Ogun state to take her children to Lagos.
“My brother came to pick them (Amina and Rukayya) but did not meet me and my children at home on Sallah day because we had gone to the Eid ground to pray. He did not wait for me as he left for Lagos.
“When my children knew that he had come and gone they started crying, so Asmau used the opportunity and told me she was going to Lagos that day and that she will help me to take them to their grandparents, so, I agreed and asked the children to go with her.
“After two days, I found out that the children were not at their grandparents’ house, I called the woman but her number was not connecting. I checked her at her house; I did not find her and my children.
Hauwa afterwards reported the case to the Sarkin Hausawa of Ogere Alhaji Abdullahi Saminaka, who organised a prayer and informed the people. Luckily for me, some days later, a woman came to the palace and told the Sarkin that she saw Asmau with my children begging in Ikorodu in Lagos state.
The children was brought back to Ogun by the Sarkin’s men.
The Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Zone 2, Abdulmajid Ali, who paraded the suspect at the police headquarters in Abeokuta, said Asmau was arrested with the help of the Sarkin Hausawa of the Ogere community few days after.
He said she is presently in police custody and will be charged to court soon.
