On August 2, it was reported at the Command’s Headquarters, along Iwo-Ibadan Road, Osun State that a male child aged one year and three months was kidnapped at Osunjela, along Ilesa Garage.
Discrete investigation revealed that one lady known as Tawa was introduced to the mother of the baby by a family friend known as Sodiq, who said Tawa wanted to learn bag making from the woman.
The very first day the suspect, Tawa, came to work; she carried the baby pretending to be playing with him.
She thereafter went out with the baby’s elder sister of ten years old , who was sent on an errand alongside the younger brother, While on their way, Tawa asked the baby’s elder sister to go and deliver potatoes to the mother. However, Tawa took away the one year and three months old baby.
