Today is exactly 10 days that an apprentice, Grace
John kidnapped her mistress’s three-year-old daughter at the Alagbandon area of
Lagos State.
The victim’s father, Festus Adebiyi, said that John
was yet to make contact, adding that the family has handed the matter over to
God.
John abducted the little girl, Oluwasemilore, five
days after she applied and started working as an apprentice in the victim’s
mother’s beads and hat making shop.
Adebiyi said: “We have embarked on prayers to seek
divine intervention for the release of our baby. There is a limit to human
efforts, but when one involves God as his last hope, he shall have his request
granted. If God says yes, no man can say no. However, we have reported the
matter at different police station, including FESTAC, Alagbado and Lagos State
Police Command. We’re anxiously waiting for information.”
John, who identified herself as an apprentice from
Benue State, was employed by Oluwasemilore’s mother at her shop at James
Oyedele Street, Moshalashi Alagbado. She
was employed on January 23, 2017 and five days after, she abducted Oluwasemilore.
Adebiyi said: “On January 28, she told my wife that
she wanted to go and buy gala; my daughter as a baby pleaded to follow her. But
as minutes kept rolling by without their return, my wife started looking for
them. She saw them on the road with a man, whom Grace introduced as her
guarantor. They thought they were heading towards her shop for documentation
and filling of guarantor’s form. After waiting for long, she went to check on
them again, but they were nowhere to be found.”
He said they tried to call John’s phone number. She
kept cutting the calls until she finally switched off.
It was learnt that Oluwasemilore’s mum previously
took pictures of John with her phone, but when she went to check, she
discovered John had wiped off all the pictures.
