Drama ensued on Tuesday [ Nov. 18 ], at Yemetu area of Ibadan,when a
woman on hijab, who having allegedly kidnapped four children,
disappeared shortly after being sighted by some residents of the area.
The
Nigerian Tribune gathered that there was uneasy calm in the area when
the residents, who had earlier seen the kidnapper with the four
children, found out to their consternation that she had disappeared
with the children from the scene, a few hours after the incident
happened.
Oyo State Police Public Relations Officer Olabisi
Ilobanafor, who confirmed the report, said that investigation into the
matter had commenced, to manhunt the alleged kidnapper and the allegedly
missing children.
She said: “The allegation was brought to us
that one woman with hijab, kidnapped four children. We are investigating
and the investigation will reveal whether it is true or not.”
Ilobanafor
also appealed to members of the public to allow the law take its normal
course, rather than take the law into their hands.
The
Divisional Police Officer at Yemetu, Abure David, speaking on the
incident, said the case was brought to the notice of the police, adding
that he had deployed three patrol teams to search for the children, just
as he stated that as at 10:30a.m the patrol team had not found the
children.
An angry mob was later dispersed with canisters of tear
gas as they were vehement that the police produce the missing children,
since the report was already lodged at the police station.
