The Ogun State Police Command says it is on the trail of a yet-to-be-identified woman who abducted two children of her landlord and neighbour in the Sango Ota area of Ogun State.
Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state, Omolola Odutola said this on Wednesday.
It was learnt that the female tenant vanished into thin air with the kids three days after taking up residence in an apartment she rented.
The landlord, Johnson Oshinowo, reported to the police that a woman he rented his apartment to disappeared with the two children, both four years old, after she moved into the apartment on December 7.
The police spokesperson said that the female tenant’s identity is unknown as the landlord and house agent failed to do a profile check before renting the apartment to her.
“On December 12, 2023, at about 0835hrs, a landlord informed the police that he rented a room apartment to a woman on December, 7 and on December 11, the woman abducted his son and his neighbour’s son without any trace of their destination.
“Immediately the report was received, detectives swung into action and visited the scene to conduct preliminary inquiries.
“From the preliminary investigation, it was gathered by the detectives that the woman had only spent three days in the rented house without any known background information. It was also gathered that the landlord and house agent have no profile of the suspect,” Odutola said.
The PPRO said that the Ogun police commissioner, CP Abiodun Alamutu, has directed a discrete investigation into the incident and urged operatives to intensify their efforts to track down the suspect and rescue the children.
