The community has therefore called on the Lagos State government and the state police command to rescue the children and fish out the syndicate responsible for the abduction.
According to reports, four children have been stolen in the last three weeks, while two attempts have been foiled by the community. Last week, two kids, four-year-old Raphael Ogunwole and Godwin Mbachu were stolen by a man on August 14 at their residence, No. 10, Oluwakenmi Street, Ilasamaja.
A parent of one of the abducted minors, Mr. Christian Mbachu, who narrated how the kids were stolen, said: “Raphael and Godwin were born the same year and we all live in the same compound. Being that they were born the same week, they became too close that they play together.
On a fateful day, they were playing outside the house. When my wife came to call Godwin to eat, she did not see him. She did not entertain any fear as she concluded he might be in his friend’s house.(Theguardian)
