AÂ toddler, Morenikeji Bilikisu Sadiq has been stolen by a lady who gave her name as Amarachi.
Amarachi, who claimed to hail from Edo State, stole the toddler in connivance with a middle aged man who is presently cooling his heels at the Lagos State Police Command, Ikeja.
She was stolen at her motherâ€
P.M.NEWS reliably gathered that Amarachi had earlier on the fateful day at about 10 a.m. approached Morenikejiâ€
Later that day at about 6 p.m., Amarachi came back to Mrs. Aminaâ€
While she was waiting for her arrival, it was alleged that a middle aged man came into the beer parlour to drink and eat pepper soup in order to keep the old woman busy while they carried out their dastardly act.
As the old woman was attending to the man who came to take pepper soup, Amarachi excused herself on the pretext that she wanted to go and buy recharge card.
It was alleged that the man later tricked the stolen girlâ€
He later took the child from his brother and gave her to Amarachi who in turn absconded with the baby.
Luck, however, ran out on Amarachiâ€
The man was later arrested and handed over to the police at the Lagos State Police Command, Ikeja, while investigation is ongoing on the matter.
