The three missing boys pictured above are from Orekoya family of Lawanson Road, Surulere, Lagos State. Aderomola, (11 months), Adedamola (4 years) and Demola (6 years) was kidnapped by their nanny a day after she was employed on March 7.
The 23-year-old nanny named Mary Akinloye from Ibadan, Oyo State, was said to have been contracted via OLX, an online sales portal, Punchng reports.
Their Mother, Adebisi revealed to PUNCH Metro that Akinloye, who looked older than her age claimed she was an indigene of Oyo State, which she found questionable because of her accent.
However, their former House-help didn't resume to her duties after observing her annual leave before Akinloye was employed through OLX; Adebisi explained.
Adebisi further explained:
“We had someone who was taking care of the kids before now. But the woman did not show up on Saturday and Sunday and we urgently needed someone to assist because we were going to resume work on Monday. We were disturbed and that was why I posted the information on OLX."
“She (Akinloye) called us and said she was interested. She said she was 23 years. I agreed to employ her in the interim because I really did not like the fact that she was young. She agreed to collect between N10,000 to N15,000 even though our former nanny collected N25,000.
“I left her at home this morning (Wednesday) around 7.30am. It was around 1pm that my eldest son called me and said she had taken his siblings away. He said she told him they were going out to buy some things. She took the 11 months on her back and held the others by the hand. She has since not returned.”
“We spoke with two people she introduced to us as her brother and sister. They confirmed that they were her relatives. They gave us a vague description of where they lived in Ikorodu. We agreed to do proper documentation this week."
“It was in less than 24 hours that she went away with the kids.
“She never gave us an idea that she was on an evil mission.
“Her spoken English was fluent. She said she had a National Diploma and just wanted to make some money so she could return to school.”
The Police Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Nwosu, who confirmed the abduction, said the police had started investigation with a view to rescuing the children and arrest the suspect.
Meanwhile, the purported relatives of Akinloye had remained unreachable on their telephone lines.
