breastfeeding mother ear while attempting to abduct baby

 

A suspect, Sikiru Adeniran, has been arrested while attempting to abduct a baby in Idomu-Owo, Ilese, in the Ijebu North East Local Government Area of Ogun State on Tuesday.

It was gathered that Adeniran chased a young girl, Rodiat Iskilu, to where a woman, Basirat Bakare, was breastfeeding her twin babies.
After realising that Rodiat had escaped, the suspect descended on the breastfeeding mother.

Although, While the suspect was trying to deprive her of her baby , he allegedly used a sharp object to cut off her right ear.

However , Basirat raised an alarm in a desperate attempt to prevent the alleged abduction which drew attention from the residents.

Basirat said, “The incident happened last Wednesday. I was with my children outside the house when one of the children in the neighbourhood ran in my direction, shouting for help. She said a man was chasing her.
“I quickly took the girl and my children inside our house. But I was about to close the door when the man forced the door open. He started fighting to dispossess me of one of my twin babies; he used his teeth to bite my hands and neck, just to take my baby away.
“I was still fighting with him when he suddenly brought out a knife and cut my right ear. I was bleeding and shouted for help. It was my cry that prompted neighbours to rush to my rescue. As the man saw people coming, he ran into the kitchen and locked the door.
“He broke the window’s burglary-proof bars and was about to escape through it when neighbours got hold of him. He started pleading and requested an account number to do a transfer of N500,000. He said he was into Yahoo Yahoo (Internet fraud) and wanted to bribe us with the money to cover the case, but we refused.”

However, the suspect has been arrested and the case is being investigated by the police in Ogun state.
