Five-day old employee abducts mistress’s daughter

A three-year-old girl, Oluwasemilore Adebiyi, has been abducted by her mother’s newly acquired apprentice.

The little girl, Oluwasemilore, was abducted on January 28, 2017, by Grace John, five days after she was accepted as an apprentice in a beads and hats making shop.

The missing girl’s mother, Tobiloba, said that immediately John came to her, asking to be an apprentice in beads and hats making, she had used her phone to take John’s snapshot.

When John bolted with the little girl, Tobiloba had immediately dashed to her phone, ready to flash the pictures and give some to the police.

She, however, collapsed in shock after she discovered that John’s pictured had been wiped off the phone gallery and memory card.

John was said to have begun her training at Tobiloba’s Beads and Hats making shop, located at Mosholashi Alagbado, on January 23.

According to the devastated Tobiloba, she had earlier asked John to bring a guarantor and passport photographs for documentation purposes.

John, however, pleaded for more time, explaining that her guarantor, due to the nature of his job, was only available on weekends.

The missing girl’s father, Olawunmi, said: “Grace as she calls herself, resumed at my wife’s beads and hats making shop on Monday. My wife, Tobiloba, told her to bring passport and a guarantor for documentation. In fact, Tobiloba also told her that if she didn’t come with a guarantor, she would not allow her to work next week. Grace said that her guarantor goes to work and was only available at weekends.”

On Saturday, they all waited for the arrival of John’s guarantor.  They were still waiting, when John suddenly said she was hungry and needed to buy gala.  Oluwasemilore, on hearing this, cried that she wanted to go with John. The parents allowed the crying girl to have her way.

After a while, Tobiloba began to feel uneasy. Oluwasemilore and John were taking too long. She went to check and noticed them in the next street. John was speaking with a man. Tobilola thought the man was the much expected. She went back into her shop.

She said: “That was the last time I saw my daughter or the lady that calls herself Grace.”

The husband added: “Since then, we’ve not seen any of them. We’ve been trying Grace’s number, but she would pick and cut the call. Now the phone had been switched off.”

Oluwasemilore’s parents said the case has been reported at the Alagbado Police Station.
