Report from Vanguard reveals that over the weekend, a suspected ritualist named Iheanacho who claims to be a security man at Alaba International Market was caught with three children belonging to the same mother at Iyana Iba market in Lagos.
Iheanacho who took the children, aged four, six and seven years, on the pretext that he wanted to buy biscuits for them got the beating of his life and was almost killed by the crowd when he could not give satisfactory answer to neighbours who demanded to know what he was doing with the children. Fortunately for Iheanacho, the mobile policemen attached to CTU Base 2, Anti Terrorism, Ikeja intervened.
The mother of the children, Mrs. Iyabo Lawal, narrates:
“I was in the shop when the man passed the first time, I didn’t know he was monitoring my kids who were playing with my mother in her shop.
“I was busy attending to customers and didn’t notice when my children followed him. I thought they were still playing in my mother’s shop, not knowing that a stranger had taken them away.
“Some people, who saw my children with the man at the end of Iyana Iba road, questioned him on
what he was doing with the children and he told them he was going to buy something for them.
“When he could not answer the neighbours satisfactorily, they raised alarm and people gathered and started beating him.
“At this time I had started looking for my children when someone alerted me that they had seen them with a man at the other side of road.”
The suspect was later handed over to policemen from Ojo Police Division.
