A two-month-old baby named Usman Idris was reportedly stolen from his mother during a school graduation event in Ilorin, Kwara State capital. According to sources, the incident occurred around 3 pm on Saturday at the school premises located in the Deeper Life area, Sawmill, Ilorin.
The mother of the missing child, identified as Sekina but popularly known as Iya Mujidat, said her baby was taken by a lady who accompanied her to the graduation of one of her children. The suspect is described as a tall fair complexion woman dressed in a purple Ankara with a black headscarf.
Sekina explained that the lady approached her two weeks prior, expressing a desire to learn how to make snacks. Despite accepting her request, Sekina had no knowledge of the lady’s family or contact information.
During the graduation, the lady offered to help carry the baby while Sekina accompanied her elder brother, who was graduating, to collect his certificate. Unfortunately, that was the last time they saw the lady. The case has been reported to the ‘B’ Division Police station in Surulere, Ilorin, but no updates have been received yet.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Ajayi Okasanmi, confirmed the incident and stated that efforts are ongoing to apprehend the suspect and possibly recover the baby.”
