Princess Arrested Days After Conspiring to Abduct One-Year-Old Baby in Anambra
Anambra State Police Command has arrested a 19-year-old princess, Adaobi Ikediashi, for allegedly conspiring with a man to kidnap a one-year-old baby in the state. According to the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Toochukwu Ikenga, the incident occurred on April 11th in the Awka South Local Government Area of Anambra. Preliminary investigations revealed that Ikediashi lured the baby’s mother, a 22-year-old trader, to a market under the pretense of buying baby items for her. While there, she met with a man named Chibuzor Onuorah, who was introduced to her as a potential buyer. Onuorah then took the baby and the mother to a nearby bush where he attempted to abduct the infant. However, the mother raised an alarm, alerting passersby who apprehended Onuorah. “The man was immediately arrested, while the princess escaped,” Ikenga said in a statement. “Following a manhunt, Ikediashi was arrested days later.” The suspects have confessed to the crime during interrogation, with Onuorah claiming that he intended to sell the child for N500,000 (approximately $1,200). “The princess admitted her role in the plot,” Ikenga added. “She claimed she conspired with Onuorah to kidnap the baby because she was desperate for money.” The suspects have been charged to court and remanded in custody. The baby has since been reunited with his mother. Police Commissioner Echeng Echeng has commended the public for their vigilance and cooperation in apprehending the suspects. He urged the public to remain vigilant and to report any suspicious activities to the authorities.Suspected Child Trafficker Apprehended in Anambra
