Landlady has repaid her former tenants’ love in a strange and painful manner, she abducted their twins.
The police at Abayi Division, Abia State, are holding a woman
identified simply as Chioma for allegedly abducting the twin boys of her
ex-tenants Mr. and Mrs. Okwudili Nwaeze.
It was gathered that Chioma visited her former tenants’ home to, according to sources, exchange pleasantries with them.“
Mrs. Nwaeze, who was on her way to the bathroom, apparently
uncomfortable with the visitor, changed her mind and waited until she
(Chioma) left the compound.
Mrs. Nwaeze was said to have gone back to the bathroom, leaving her
twins (James and John) inside their room, unknown to her that her
ex-land lady was still in the compound.
A source close to the Nwaeze family said: “When she finally returned
to their room, the twin babies (James and John) had disappeared. It was
at this point that she started to raise alarm.
In agony, she began a desperate search for her babies. Neighbours who
had seen Chioma carry the babies told Mrs Nwaeze that her ex-tenant had
the babies.
An Afor Ule market trader, Abayi Aba, said nobody suspected that
Chioma abducted the babies beacuse she had lived with the children’s
parents before the incident.
She said Chioma, on getting to Afor Ule junction, flagged down a commercial tricycle driver, who took her and the kids away.
An unconfirmed report said Chioma had, at the initial contact with
the children’s family, demanded a ransom of about N10million, which the
family told her they did not have.
On how the ex-tenant was apprehended by the police, sources said she
was caught by some people selling wares at the Afor Ule market. They
spotted her while she was attempting to drop the children on the main
road.
They took her to the Abayi Divisional police station where the Nwaezes had reported that their children were missing.
When contacted, the Abia State Police PPRO, Geoffrey Ogbonna, said he was yet to be briefed on the incident.
But, a police source at the Abayi Police Division confirmed the
incident, adding that the police were still investigating the matter.
