The child was eventually returned to his mother when the nanny and her accomplices were apprehended.
The 3-year-old boy who was abducted by a nanny in the Gwarimpa area of Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, has been reunited with his mother.
Recall that an Abuja-based businesswoman took to social media to raise the alarm about the incident on Monday, July 10.
She said the nanny left the estate with the baby, as captured in a CCTV footage, and failed to return.
She further disclosed that the mother of the missing child is currently battling cancer.
“Please help find this baby and pray for his safe return. Taken by his nanny from an estate in Gwarimpa, Abuja. Please be on the lookout and pray. The boy’s mom is battling cancer… help, help please,” she wrote.
However, the suspected kidnappers later contacted the family and demanded a N15m ransom.
The boy’s mother pleaded with them to accept a N5m ransom, but they refused.
The child was eventually returned to his mother when the nanny and her accomplices were apprehended.
A family member, Jesse Dan Yusuf, who confirmed the latest development on Thursday, July 13, 2023 said that the suspected kidnappers were arrested while the boy has been reunited with his ailing mother.
