Some unidentified gunmen have reportedly stolen a 6-month-old
male child at Amapu Umuaja village in Isiala Ngwa South Local
Government Area of Abia State.
It
has been learnt from the local sources that the incident occurred
around 9:30pm Monday evening when most of the villagers had already gone
to bed.
It has been gathered that the gunmen who came to the
victim’s parents compound in a motorbike, forcefully broke into Mrs.
Peace Chikezie’s house and then snatched away her child and her mobile
phone so she couldn't contact her family members.
A source, who
pleaded anonymity, said that villagers got to know about the incident
after the mother of the child raised the alarm after the gunmen had left
their compound.
A search team was set up for a possible recovery of the baby and apprehension. However, it gave no results.
The
police officer, who preferred his name not to be disclosed, confirmed
the incident, noting that the police
are already on top of the matter to
recover the child and also to apprehend the culprits.
