A 20 month old child, Opeyemi Ogundele was reported
stolen on Sunday during a naming ceremony in Abeokuta. The incident happened at
Mile 2, Iyana Concord, Akorede Estate, Ilugun Inukosegba Community in Abeokuta
North Local Government Area of the state.
Community members, however, besieged the residence
of one Chief Olasile Ifayemi, a herbalist alleged to be the kidnapper of the
child.
Elizabeth Ogundele, 26, mother of the toddler, who
narrated her ordeal, said she was getting ready for her niece’s naming ceremony
when she discovered her son was missing. She said that she had gone to
celebrate with her brother, Olusola Osunleke on Sunday when the incident
happened.
“I was helping my brother’s wife get ready for the
ceremony when I noticed that my son was missing. “I searched for him in and
around the house because some tenants said they saw him playing ball, but he
was nowhere to be seen. “I ran outside the house into the community still
searching and that was when I encountered two guys at Chief Ifayemi’s house.
“I asked if they had seen my son, they denied and
started giggling, so I left.’’ Youths in the community vandalised the bungalow
belonging to the alleged kidnapper. Different fetish items and human parts were
discovered at the scene as angry youths were getting ready to set the bungalow
ablaze.
The head of the community could not be reached as at
press time as he was not available. The Commissioner of Police, Abdulmajid Ali,
who confirmed the incidence, said that investigations were ongoing. “Actually a
two years old boy was kidnapped yesterday, but the site that was discovered has
no relationship with the boy and other human parts that were found at the site.
“Already, we have commenced investigation on the
matter and we will let you see what really happened when we finish our
investigation. “I want to make it clear to the people of the state that I’m
here to work and to reduce crime and criminality to the barest minimum. “We
will not allow miscreants to continue to disturb us no matter their intention,”
the police chief said.
