An unidentified middle-aged man, Wednesday, abducted two siblings, who were returning from extra-moral class in Satellite area of Lagos. Thereafter, he exchanged them for two bags of rice in a shop at 63, Marwa Road, near Chemist Bus Stop. The children are aged 8 and 13.

Speaking with newsmen, owner of the shop, Mrs Silverline, explained that “he (the abductor) told my sales girl that the mother of the children needed Indian rice, but my sales girl told him that what we had was Brazilian rice and that it was good.
“Thereafter, he made a phone call to someone he claimed was the mother of the children and at the end said he would like to take the bags of rice to the woman. But my girl insisted on following him to collect the money for the bags (N40,000) should the woman agree to buy them.
“The stranger said he would ride on a motorcycle with the bags of rice, while my girl followed with the children on foot. But on reaching the purported restaurant, the owner said she never saw any one with bags of rice, neither did she admit knowing the children.
“They walked to Ijegun end of Satellite without any sight of the abductor. When we asked the children about him, they said that the abductor was not their father.” An eyewitness, Ifeoma John, said that immediately the abductor left with the bags of rice, a man who claimed to be the biological father of the children, arrived, alleging that his children could have been hypnotised by the abductor.
He contacted policemen from Satellite Division, who took everyone involved to the station, from where the children were released to their parents. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteDoes God take these form of excuses?
Hunger and bad economy is the reason for all these. The other day a man called the name of Buhari and committed a suicide by jumping into the river. Yesterday another news has it that a man hanged himself with a suicide more addressed to Buhari. Nobody dear question the President of try to investigate the reason behind them taking their lives. But a man was arrested because he name is dog Buhari. Dog naming is more important than those taking their lives for reasons unknown to us all.
ReplyDeleteThe father of the Children is definitely part of the conspiracy to steal rice from the seller
ReplyDeleteStory story, story. This is super story
ReplyDeleteStory, story, story """"it is just propaganda.
ReplyDeleteAt the age of 13, I had finished JSS heading for SSS. No matter how slow the children are, at 8 and 13, you're grown enough to analyze events around you. There is a foul play here. The father of the children is definitely part of the plot. If not, how did he know where to find his children immediately after the fraudster had left.
ReplyDeleteI am almost fall victim to this kind of scam sometime ago, I know how it works, so please don't blame the little children
DeleteRice has become lucrative business.
ReplyDeleteAnd you are saying people should not regret for voting for Buhari? I believe, this very very true, it seems some people will just seat down in one place eating and drinking without knowing what people out there are passing through
ReplyDeleteI was a victim. In my case it was 2 crates of Softdrinks.
ReplyDeleteThey must have been hypnotised.
The body of this story differs from its headline. According to the story, that man abducted those children. They are not "his siblings". Therefore, I suggest that better attention should be paid to headline writing.
