Monday, December 30, 2024 - Seven-year-old Mercy Akande who was kidnapped by a male customer at her mother's Point of Sale terminal (PoS) terminal in the Sango Ota area of Ogun State on Monday, December 23, has been found.
The Ogun state police command gave the good news on its X handle on
Sunday night, December 29. The command also disclosed that all suspects
involved in the abduction of the little girl have been arrested.
An X user who shared the news online said the male suspect who is the
mother’s regular customer, visited the shop, bought food for the seven-year-old
girl, and later sent her on an errand to buy a sachet of water. As the girl was
returning from the errand, the customer left the shop and approached her midway
in an attempt to collect the water sachet.
The girl's mother saw both of them at that moment but was briefly
distracted by the attention of other customers. When the mother returned her
attention to the spot where she saw her daughter and the customer, both of them
were nowhere to be found.
The mother immediately launched a search for her daughter but did not find her. They called the male customer’s phone but he did not respond until his line was no longer reachable.
