The Police
Headquarters in Abuja recently paraded one Faith Nuhu and five others who
specialised in child kidnapping and sale of children. The suspects, among
them, a medical doctor, were arrested after Faith Nuhu kidnapped three of her
sister’s children but ended up selling two of them at N600,000 to one Evelyn
Ojiaku, who operates an illegal maternity home at Owerri, Imo State. The kidnapped
children, Grace Musa Idris, aged 13, Philip Musa Idris, 3, and Paul Musa Idris,
were allegedly kidnapped by Faith from their home in Kafachan, Kaduna State on
the pretext of going to buy them biscuits.
Faith, who is an
aunt to the children was said to have immediately taken the children to the
motor park, where she boarded a vehicle to Owerri. But on the way, she
dumped the eldest of the children, Grace, who they felt was too old and
intelligent to understand when things go wrong along the Abuja-Jos highway and
continued with the two other children Philip and Paul. However, help came
the way of the young girl after some motorists, who saw her wandering stopped
and asked her what she was doing alone on the busy road.
After narrating her
story, they gave her lift and reported the matter to the nearest police
station, where policemen on duty made contacted with her parents who in turn
showed up to pick her up. The suspect was later arrested through police
analytical tracking system. After her arrest, the suspect confessed to the
police that she was not alone in the kidnap business and led the police to
other members of her gang in Edo and Imo state.
Other members of
the gang include Chigozie Goodwill, Mrs. Evelyn Ojiaku, John Ojiaku, Elizabeth
Onyemaobi, and Dr. Amadi Godwin Uzoma. When the suspects were paraded
before newsmen at the Force headquarters Abuja, the Force Public Relations
Officer said one of the suspects, Evelyn Ojiaku operates a private hospital,
Royal Maternity/Clinic and child service around the Umuyi Akaba Ikeduru, off
Kilometer 6, Owerri-Okigwe, road and also engages in sale of children.
The police also
revealed that the woman had earlier bought a day old baby belonging to Faith
Nuhu, for N100,000 and that she operates her illegal maternity home with the
connivance with one of her sons, John Ojiaku.
