It seems whenever the Nation is at the brink of a National election, different plagues bedevil the country. The one that is trending now is child theft/kidnapping. We have brought different reports of several 'mad' people feigning insanity just to kidnap adults or small children, many of them have been lynched, burnt alive or many other jungle justices meted out to them and guess what, they aren't halting!
Another suspected ritualist was, over the weekend, apprehended at Iyana Iba market in Lagos for kidnapping three children.
The suspect allegedly took the children, aged four, six and seven years, on the pretext that she wanted to buy biscuits for them then bolted before he was nabbed .
Speaking to news men, the mother of the children, Mrs. Iyabo Lawal, said: “I was in the shop when the man passed the first time, I didn’t know he was monitoring my kids who were playing with my mother in her shop.
“I was busy attending to customers and didn’t notice when my children followed him. I thought they were still playing in my mother’s shop, not knowing that a kidnapper had taken them away.
"Some people, who saw my children with the man at the end of Iyana Iba road, questioned him on what he was doing with the children and he told them he was going to buy something for them.
“When he could not answer the neighbours satisfactorily, they raised alarm and people gathered and started beating him.
The policemen that raced to the scene on time, he would have been lynched and by now about 6ft below.
