How my husband’s lover abducted my three-month-old baby – Distraught mother

A nursing mother in Ondo State, Mrs Stella Babatunde, has narrated how her husband’s lover, Temitọpẹ Adeniyi, kidnapped her three-month-old baby girl.

“On Saturday, 2nd of January, 2021, the lady came to the shop as usual. After bathing the baby girl that afternoon, she took permission from me to put the baby on her back.

“I later gave her my ATM card to help me withdraw N3,000 that was transferred to my account by a customer at a nearby POS stand. But she never returned, as she escaped with the newborn baby and my ATM card.”

The woman further alleged that her husband refused to pick all the calls she made to him thereafter to report the incident, adding that he was almost lynched by an irate mob when he returned from work and showed no concern about the missing baby.

“My husband was later taken to Ẹnuọwa police station in Ondo, where he confessed that the lady in question was his girlfriend. He also confessed that he was the one who rented a room apartment for her at Eweje area of Yaba, Ondo, but denied knowing anything about the disappearance of the child.”

The state police command spokesperson, Tee Leo lkoro, confirmed the incident, adding that the missing baby’s father has been arrested for alleged complicity in the crime while the police had spread dragnet to arrest the fleeing apprentice. And recover the baby.
