Couple cries out over missing of three-month-old baby
A young couple from Abuja panic because of the disappearance of their three-month-old daughter, Fatima.
It was learned that the child’s mother, Talatu Kabiru, was washing clothes when she asked her first child, five-year-old Mariam, to take care of Fatima.
Mariam, as it has was gathered , was trapped by an unidentified man to an uncompleted building, where the baby was taken from her.
The incident occurred in Dakwa, a community in the Bwari Regional Council of the Federal Capital Territory on November 8.
Recounting her ordeal on Wednesday, Ms Kabiru said she was no longer herself 10 days after the incident.
The 23-year-old said: “The baby was inside the house while I was washing the clothes. She was crying when I told her sister, who is five, to take her outside and play with her to stop her crying.
“She carried her on her back and played with her in front of the house. She said a man came up to them and told them he wanted to buy them drinks and took them to an uncompleted building, where he took the baby from her, including the packaging she was using for support her.
“The man told her to wait because he was coming with the drinks. As he did not return, the girl came home crying and told us what had happened. We reported the case to the police station and were told to wait 48 hours before she could be declared missing. We are back ; my husband, Musa, and I have been there ever since. He was in Imo when it happened. It was hard for us. We hope she will be found.
