Photo: Man Nabbed for stealing 7-month-old baby in Lagos
According to a report by Linda Ikeji's Blog, Umaru was intercepted by some police officers patrolling Eric Moore road Surulere. When questioned, Umaru first lied that he was the father of the boy but after much scrutiny, he confessed to have picked up the baby inside a bush at Ijora Railway.
The police took him to where he took the child, they met with the mother of the child, Patricia who said she has been searching for her son since. Narrating how her baby boy got lost, she said
“I laid my seven months old baby (Favour Victor) on the bed inside my house at about 8p.m., to buy food for my son. By the time I returned with the food for my older son, my baby had disappeared. I raised alarm and neighbours joined me in the search all thorough the night, but we did not find him. I did not know that police officers had arrested the man who stole my baby. Luckily, when they came the next day to investigate the case, they located me.”Umaru will be charged to court today for child theft.
