A 3-year-old girl, Mutmaina Azeez has been kidnapped from her family home in Ilorin, Kwara State by an unknown woman.
Distraught father of the little girl told newsmen on Wednesday that the incident took place at about 4:30pm on Monday in their home at the Aiyetoro neighbourhood in Zango-Kulende quarters of the city.
He said: “I received a call from my wife that she has been looking for my daughter and that she is nowhere to be found.
“After that, I called her back and someone picked up the call that they were looking for her, that my wife went out to repair the school bag of our daughter, saying she left the children in the house and will be back soon.”
He explained that while his wife went to get his daughter’s school bag an unidentified lady sneaked into their house and took the children with her under the guise of taking them to a party.
On their way, some people who knew the children questioned them on their destination but the woman in a bid to distract the residents from suspecting her told the eldest child to go back to the house and get the other children for the supposed party.
“For three days now, she is nowhere to be found and we have not received any call from the abductors demanding for any ransom whatsoever,” the disturbed father lamented.
“I actually told her (my wife) to return the school bag to the child on Sunday, because I travel a lot. I am not based in Ilorin and she went to collect the bag from the repairer for use the following day.”
Azeez said his elder daughter who was asked to go back home described the lady as fair-complexioned between 18-20 years old.
He said they had reported the case to state police command headquarters in Ilorin, the ‘E’ Police Division, Kulende and the headquarters of the Department of the State Services, DSS.
