A female kidnapper reportedly escapes with a two-month-old baby whose name is Usman Idris during a school graduation in Ilorin, Kwara state capital.

It was gathered that the incident happened around 3pm on Saturday during the event held at the school premises located at the Deeper Life area, Sawmill, Ilorin.

The mother of the missing baby, Sekina better known as Iya Mujidat said her child was stolen by her apprentice who accompanied her to the graduation of one of her children.

The woman described the suspect as a tall fair complexion woman dressed in a purple Ankara with a black headscarf.

She said: “She is a Christian and she came to me about two weeks ago that she wanted to learn how to make snacks. I accepted her but I don’t know any of her family members or where she stays and don’t even have her phone number.

“We went to the graduation together and she offered to help me carry the baby when I accompanied the elder brother, who was graduating, to collect his certificate.

“That was the last time we saw her. We have reported the case at ‘B’ Division Police station in Surulere, Ilorin but we are yet to hear from them.”
