A woman suspected of abducting a schoolchild from Nibo has reportedly been apprehended in Awka, Anambra State.
According to reports, the woman, who is said to frequently wander the streets of Awka and Nibo unclothed, was spotted on Tuesday morning with a child believed to have been reported missing while on his way to school.
Eyewitnesses said the woman appeared unusually well-dressed, wearing a gown, makeup and artificial eyelashes, with her hair reportedly dyed. The child had also allegedly been changed out of his school uniform into ordinary clothes.
A woman who was reportedly aware of the missing child’s case became suspicious after spotting the pair around Capital City Secondary School, Amaenyi, Awka, and raised the alarm, leading to the suspect’s apprehension.
The suspect, believed to be in her late 30s, was subsequently taken into custody by operatives of the Anambra State security outfit, Agunechemba, who were reportedly contacted.
The child was reportedly rescued, with arrangements made to reunite him with his family.
The circumstances surrounding the alleged abduction, the suspect’s mental health status and the sexual assault allegation remain subject to investigation by the relevant authorities.
