Ogun / Lagos – One Anuoluwapo Joshua, a 28-year-old woman has been arrested by the police in Ogun State for allegedly stealing a three-year-old baby, identified as Akamaka Patience Francis, during a monthly Holy Ghost Congress at Redemption camp.
The camp is located along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
Abimbola Oyeyemi, Ogun state police spokesman, said in a statement on Sunday that Joshua stole the child in July, last year while mother went to pack her clothes in the new auditorium of the church.
According to Oyeyemi, an Assistant Superintendent of Police, the suspect brought the child back to the church three days ago during the children end of the year party from where she was sighted.
The police hung around until the suspect came for the child, and was immediately arrested.
“The suspect allegedly stole the child on July 2017, during the monthly Holy Ghost congress of the Church, but luck ran out on her on December 29, when the child was sighted inside the youth center at RCCG Redemption camp during the party”.
“On receiving the information, the DPO, Redeemed division, SP Olaiya Martins led detectives to the center where they waited until the end of the program, when the suspect came out to pick the child and was promptly arrested.”
Quizzed, she confessed to the crime and said she lured the baby out of the parent’s sight and took her to Ofada in Obafemi Owode local government of the state, where she’s been nursing the baby.
“Investigation further revealed that the suspect had earlier got pregnant for somebody in Lagos, but travelled to the north, where she claimed she was delivered of a baby girl.
“When she came back from the north, she didn’t come with the baby, which made the man who impregnated her to put pressure on her to bring his child.
“But, she later informed her relatives that she was going to Nasarawa state to bring the child, and instead went to the redeemed camp, where she stayed for some days, before succeeding in stealing the child.”
However, Ahmed Iliyasu, Ogun state police commissioner, has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspect to the state criminal investigation and intelligence department for further investigation and prosecution.
