Acccording to reports, the girl was playing with other children on the church premises at about 1pm when the kidnappers came in through the back of the church and tricked her out with Gala, a popular sausage, before whisking her away on a motorcycle.
It was however learnt that the girl, was rescued in Abeokuta, Ogun State, on Monday by the police and reunited with her parents.
According to the victim’s father, Oladapo Ajelero:
“It happened around 1pm on Sunday. The children finished their service before us and were playing on the church premises; Oluwabunmi was among them....Suddenly, one of her friends rushed in and said two men had lured and taken her away through the back of the church. Some people in the area said they saw her sitting between two men on a motorcycle. I learnt they escaped through Nathan Street."
“Our hearts are broken, we don’t know what to do anymore. They have called and instructed me to
cooperate. I am still expecting their calls, but for now they have not asked for any ransom.”
Oladapo with one of his relatives however went to Surulere Police Station to report, but he was told to come back and make a formal statement after 24 hours of the girl’s abduction.
The Lagos Police spokesperson, DSP Kenneth Nwosu, however, said Olawunmi had been rescued by a police team drawn from divisions in the state, adding that he was not aware that the family paid any ransom. He said, “The child has been found in Abeokuta, Ogun State and reunited with her parents. Investigations are ongoing to track down the kidnappers.”
The father of the abducted girl is however, yet to confirm that the girl had been rescued.
