A suspected kidnapper, Olakunle Agbaje, has been arrested by the police in Ogun State for stealing a two-month-old baby from his sleeping mother.
Agbaje, 39, reportedly sneaked into the one-room apartment of Marufu Taiwo, at 32, Odukoya Street, Adesan, in Mowe, Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area and took the baby boy from her side while she was sleeping.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the State, Abimbola Oyeyemi, disclosed this today.
Oyeyemi said the suspect was arrested on Saturday following a distress call received by the police in Mowe division.
Oyeyemi stated: “While the suspect was tiptoeing out of the room, the baby’s mother woke up and raised the alarm, consequent upon which distress call was made to the Police.
“On receiving the information, the DPO Mowe Division, Marvis Jayeola, quickly moved to the scene with his men, where the suspect was promptly arrested.
“On interrogation, the suspect who first claimed that he strayed into the woman’s room unknowingly, later started begging for mercy with the plea that he didn’t know what pushed him to do what he did.”
