Man Paraded for stealing a one-year-old baby.

The Ogun state police have paraded a 35-year-old man named Sunday Alani for allegedly snatching a one-year-old infant from Atolashe village in Ogun state’s Odeda local government area.

On February 23, 2022, he was paraded.

The suspect was apprehended after the policemen attached to Odeda divisional headquarters received a distress call that while the little girl was playing around in her parent’s compound, the suspect took advantage of her mother’s inattention while she was busy frying garri and stylishly took the little girl, after which he started running away with her.

During interrogation, the suspect confessed to the crime and told the cops that he came to the location with two ladies who were his collaborators. He went on to say that he had previously kidnapped two children from Egbeda in Lagos and the Akute area of Ogun state.
