A man identified as Iheanacho was arrested in for allegedly kidnapping three children in Lagos.
The man, suspected to be a ritualist, was apprehended at Iyana Iba market over the weekend after abducted the children aged four, six, and seven which he lured away from their mothers shop on the pretext that he wanted to buy biscuits for them.
The mother of the children, Mrs. Iyabo Lawal, speaking on the incident 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 stranger 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.
“At this time I had started looking for my children when someone alerted me that they had seen them with a man at the other side of road.”
A mob had quickly gathered and began to lynch the suspect. He was rescued by mobile policemen attached to Counter Terrorism Unit Base 2, Ikeja.
Iheanacho disclosed that he is a security man at Alaba International Market.
After interrogation and no satisfactory answer was given as to what he was doing with the children, Iheanacho was handed over to policemen from Ojo Police Division.
