A 2-week-old baby boy stolen
from his mother in Ogun State
has been rescued by the police.
Ifeoluwa Yekini was arrested
more than a month after she
faked pregnancy and snatched
a baby from his mother.
Ogun Police PRO Adejobi who
confirmed the incident said the
baby was stolen on October
31st and rescued on November
14.
The police spokesman added
that the suspect had also
deceived her husband into
believing that she was
pregnant.
Adejobi explained that having
succeeded in stealing the baby,
Yekini went into hiding at her
parents’ village from where she
called her husband and his
relations on the phone,
informing them that she had
been delivered of a baby girl.
He said:
“The suspect, who had been
monitoring the mother of the
baby while pregnant, went
under the pretense of
felicitating with the mother in
her house at the same village,
requested to back the baby,
which the mother obliged her.
“She went further by requesting
from the mother to take the
baby out to shop for the little
baby girl.
But at the market, the suspect
decided to run away with the
baby to an unknown place. “The
mother of the baby, after
several efforts to locate her
with the baby, then reported
the case to the police at the
Police Divisional Headquarters
in Ifo for search and necessary
investigation.”
