A 23-year-old mother of three has cried for help after her 3-month-old baby and youngest child is stolen by a strange man.
The woman, Fatimah Kabiru is said to have been doing laundry in the morning of Monday, 8th of November, 2021 in Dakwa community near Dei-Dei in the Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
The 3-month-old baby started crying so she asked her first daughter, Mariam, 5 to take her outside to play.
While the toddlers were playing, away from their mother’s view, a man lured Mariam and the baby out of the compound promising to buy them juice.
Mariam followed the strange man to an uncompleted building where he took the baby from her and asked her to wait for him in the uncompleted building.
Having waited for a long time and the man did not return with her sister or the juice, Mariam returned home and narrated the story to her mother.
The distraught woman raised an alarm and rushed to the uncompleted building in search of the man and her baby but he was no where to be found.
She immediately reported the matter at the Dakwa Police Station within the area but was told to return after 48 hours if the child is still not found.
One week after, the baby is still not found.
The father of the baby, Kabiru Musa, a staff of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), was away in Imo State for training when the incident occurred.
Residents of the community said that there has been several similar incidents in the locality.
