31year old Blessing Aransiola (pictured) was caught in the early hours of this morning April 10th allegedly trying to steal a 1 year old girl, Oreoluwa Adanri, from her parents home at Ademola Coker Street, Alagbole, Ogun State, PM News reports.
Narrating what happened, Oreoluwa’s mother, Mrs Adanri said Blessing gained entrance into their home around 4am by tearing their window net as they slept.
She said she was woken up by the cry of her daughter in the hands of the suspect.
“She picked up the baby as she was
sleeping on the bed by the window
and stole N5,000 kept in a purse.
She was trying to run away when my
husband ran after her and caught
her. I raised an alarm to draw
neighbours’ attention to the incident
and everybody came out to assist
us,” Mrs. Adanri narrated.
Blessing was arrested and immediately taken to the Ajuwon station where she is being held for
kidnapping.
In her statement, Blessing said she was homeless and was looking for a place to sleep when she found the passage of the Adanri’s
“I was looking for a place to sleep
when I saw the verandah. I was
trying to sit down when the net got
torn. I was wandering about, I didn’t
steal any baby or money.
Last year November I sustained injury on my leg and I couldn’t walk properly again. Later, I developed problems in my eyes and I couldn’t see properly again.
Since then I have been moving about,
“I am not a thief. They accused me
of kidnapping but I am not a
kidnapper, I was just wandering
about because I have nowhere to
sleep. I did not kidnap any child,”
she stated.
Blessing says this is not the first time she has been wrongly labeled a thief, as she was thrown out from her former abode at no 5, aded Street, Iju-Ishaga, by her landlord after her co-tenants labeled
her a thief.
