According to Daniel Ezeala, Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), the command had opened full investigation into the matter. He however said that the police has arrested one suspect, while others were at large.
The prime suspect, according to the police was identified as Chichi, who was in Makurdi to adopt a baby, but was turned down by the government officials.
Mother of the missing baby, Msendoo Ikyavngi, said that the baby was stolen in her house. “It was on Saturday evening (19 April) around 8.00 p.m. that Chichi, the girlfriend of my neighbour, Mr Amos, came to my house, tricked my nanny and stole my baby.
“My baby was crying at the time and Chichi offered to placate her. She sent my nanny to get water for her to drink. But it was then that Chichi ran away with my baby right in my house,” she said.
“This happened when I had dashed out of the house to buy food items. We have been seeing her recently and we felt she was a friend,” she lamented.
