Two Years Old Boy Stolen In Asaba

Mrs Eke, said in her family house at 45, Osowa Street, Asaba, she was married for five years without a child, before God blessed her with the stolen boy and his sister.

The little boy of two years old, Godwill Awah Eke, has been reportedly stolen in Asaba and the family are pleading to anybody keeping the baby to release him.

According to her, she returned from her business as a petty trader last week Wednesday and left the boy under the care of his cousin, Basil, to attend to a customer who was calling on her to supply dried shrimps.

She said that upon her return some minutes later, they discovered that the boy, who was exactly one year and nine months old before he was taken away, was no-where to be found within the compound.

Mrs Eke, who hails from Isiugwu-Ohafia in Ohafiah Local Government Area, of Abia State, said she raised an alarm and all efforts to locate him proved abortive, adding that she had reported to the police but nothing positive, had been said.

She said that although her church, Presbyterian Church, Asaba has resorted to prayer to God’s intervention, her husband, Awah Eke, has also reported to elders of the village to inform all landlords and tenants so that whoever is holding the child should let him out of captivity.

She reiterated her appeal to the police and members of the public who have an idea of the whereabouts of the baby to assist in locating him by reporting to the nearest police station or the family.

The Police Public Relation Officer (PPRO) in the state, Mrs. Celestina Kalu DSP, could not answer several calls put across to her on GSM line.
