Oyindamola Ojelabi, the eight-year-old sister of a Nursery 1 pupil, Michael Ojelabi, who was abducted on Wednesday, says she knows the captor of her four-year-old brother.
Oyindamola and Michael were returning from their school on Great Challenge Road, Unity Estate, in the Iba area of Lagos around 3.30pm when a woman abducted him.
It was learnt that the woman, who is still at large, escaped with Michael on a motorcycle.
PUNCH Metro gathered that the school, Mafina Primary School, is a few minutes walk away from the Ojelabis’ residence.
Oyindamola, who is in Primary 2, told PUNCH Metro that she could identify the woman if she saw her again, just as the police said they had launched a manhunt for the suspect.
This young girl is bravery personified. Little Iyabo (renamed Blessing)
was abducted at the age of 6, and the last 3 years of her life have been
traumatic.
According to the Lagos State Police Command who rescued her, Iyabo had
been sold to different people and made to work as a maid. She told
reporters that she did domestic work in the various “homes” and each
time she complained to people that she had been abducted, they beat her.
She was on her way to school when a woman wearing a pudah took her
away in her car.
Eventually Iyabo was rescued and her abductors arrested. The police say
they are currently working to nab the ringleader of the abductors, so
Iyabo can be reunited with her family. But until then, the young girl
will remain in custody of the police, while the suspects will be charged
to court.
Just watch Iyabo confront these wicked women. You would definitely love her courage. Video is after the cut.....
