FULL DETAILS OF THE MISSING KIDS IN LAGOS

Spread the love

A nanny employed by
a middle class Sulurele-Lagos family has absconded with the three kids she was
employed to care for. The nanny
identified as Mary Akinloye (possibly a phoney name), had worked for the
Orekoya family, who reside in the Lawanson district of Surulere, for barely a
day before she took the kids away on the 8th April and hasn’t been seen since
then. The missing kids are
Aderomola, (11 months), Adedamola (4 years) and Demola (6 years). Reports of the
missing children have gone viral on the social media since it became public
knowledge.
The young nanny who
claimed to be 23 years old, was contracted via the website OLX, a retail sales
and service marketplace. The mother of the
missing kids, Adebisi told local newspaper, Punch, that she put up a post for a
new nanny on the website because the main family nanny did not show up for work
after her annual leave.

“We had someone who
was taking care of the kids before now. But the woman did not show up on
Saturday and Sunday and we urgently needed someone to assist because we were
going to resume work on Monday. We were disturbed and that was why I posted the
information on OLX,” the distraught mother said.
“She (Akinloye)
called us and said she was interested. She said she was 23 years. I agreed to
employ her in the interim because I really did not like the fact that she was
young. She agreed to collect between N10, 000 to N15, 000 even though our
former nanny collected N25, 000.
“I left her at home
this morning (Wednesday) around 7.30am. It was around 1pm that my eldest son
called me and said she had taken his siblings away. He said she told him they
were going out to buy some things. She took the 11 months on her back and held
the others by the hand. She has since not returned,” she told the paper.
Leke, the kids’
father, said the nanny provided references who she claimed were her
‘relatives’, who they spoke to via telephone and agreed to a face to face
meeting before finalizing the nanny’s employment. The ‘relatives’ have been
unreachable since the incident.
“We spoke with two
people she introduced to us as her brother and sister. They confirmed that they
were her relatives. They gave us a vague description of where they lived in
Ikorodu. We agreed to do proper documentation this week. It was in less than 24
hours that she went away with the kids. She never gave us an idea that she was
on an evil mission. Her spoken English was fluent. She said she had a National
Diploma and just wanted to make some money so she could return to school,” the
kids’ father said.
The family told the
paper that the abduction has been reported to the police for further action.
Anyone with key
information concerning the abducted kids should contact the nearest police
station or the Orekoya family on 08052062117.
