Men of

belonging to one Mr Ikyavngi Imande had been stolen in Makurdi.
The
baby was stolen on 19 April at about 8.00 pm on Inikpi street, High Level,
Makurdi.
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.
