The Edo State Police Command has announced that its officers have successfully rescued a 14-month-old baby, Grace Osamagbe, who was abducted by her nanny, Rejoice Chukwu, in April.
Commissioner of Police in the state, Umoru Ozigi, shared this news with journalists on Saturday in Benin, the state’s capital.
Ozigi disclosed that the police’s Anti-Kidnapping and Cyber Crime Unit apprehended 24-year-old Chukwu and her boyfriend, Destiny Uchechukwu, in Uyo, Akwa-Ibom State.
The police boss said the suspects abducted the child in Benin and collected a ransom of N160,000.
“In spite of receiving the ransom, the suspects allegedly sold the baby for N500,000 to Doris Chiwendu in Owerri, Imo State.
“Following intense interrogation, police tracked down Chiwendu and another suspect, Jane Amaigbo, in Ubomiri, Imo State, and rescued the baby on November 9,” he said.
According to him, the suspects will soon face legal charges.
