According to Tosin Rosy, while the mother was about to dress the baby’s bed, the woman (suspected kidnapper) who looked pregnant – stole the baby and was walking away before the mother noticed and raised an alarm.

The mother’s loud scream attracted her neighbours who intervened and descended on the suspected kidnapper.

She was later dragged to the police station after receiving severe torture from the angry neighbours.
