An
unidentified middle-aged man, Wednesday, abducted two siblings, who were
returning from extra-moral class in Satellite area of Lagos.
Thereafter, he exchanged them for two bags of rice in a shop.
The children are aged eight and 13.
It was
gathered that at the shop, the abductor told the sales girl that he
would like to take two bags of rice to the mother of the children, whom
he claimed owned a restaurant close-by, to ascertain whether the rice
was the brand she needed.
Speaking
with Vanguard last night, owner of the shop, Mrs Silverline, explained
that “he (the abductor) told my sales girl that the mother of the
children needed Indian rice, but my sales girl told him that what we had
was Brazilian rice and that it was good.
“Thereafter,
he made a phone call to someone he claimed was the mother of the
children and at the end said he would like to take the bags of rice to
the woman. But my girl insisted on following him to collect the money
for the bags (N40,000) should the woman agree to buy them.
“The
stranger said he would ride on a motorcycle with the bags of rice, while
my girl followed with the children on foot. But on reaching the
purported restaurant, the owner said she never saw any one with bags of
rice, neither did she admit knowing the children. “They walked to Ijegun
end of Satellite without any sight of the abductor.
.LWhen
we asked the children about him, they said that the abductor was not
their father.” An eyewitness, Ifeoma John, said that immediately the
abductor left with the bags of rice, a man who claimed to be the
biological father of the children, arrived, alleging that his children
could have been hypnotised by the abductor. He contacted policemen from
Satellite Division, who took everyone involved to the station, from
where the children were released to their parents.
