A five-year-old girl, who was kidnapped by an acquaintance at her parents’ residence on June 10, has been found in a hotel room in Kaduna
The kid was allegedly abducted in their Akemfa 1 area of Yenagoa, capital of Bayelsa State, by the acquaintance, a man identified simply as Ahmed, on June 10, 2019.
But the girl’s six weeks ordeal ended yesterday as her mother, Mrs Williams Koroye, the victim’s mother, told journalists that her girl has safely returned home after having been picked up by her father.
Mrs. Koroye revealed that after collecting an undisclosed ransom, the kidnapper had told the family where to pick the girl in Kaduna.
She further revealed that Ahmed had checked into the hotel with the little girl and later told the staff that he was going out to pick something but never returned.
“Our baby is back with us,” the elated mother said. “ My husband traced Ahmed to Kaduna, following directions and instructions by the criminal who kidnapped her.
“When my husband got to the hotel, the baby was already in the hands of the hotel staff.
“The receptionist said the girl was found alone by the cleaner in the room, so when my husband got there, the hotel invited the Police who in turn interrogated and profiled my husband’s identity.
“He came back with our daughter and we thank God for her safe return.”
