Some unidentified gunmen have reportedly stolen a 6-month-old male child at Amapu Umuaja village in Isiala Ngwa South Local Government Area of Abia State.
It has been learnt from the local sources that the incident occurred around 9:30pm Monday evening when most of the villagers had already gone to bed.
It has been gathered that the gunmen who came to the victim’s parents compound in a motorbike, forcefully broke into Mrs. Peace Chikezie’s house and then snatched away her child and her mobile phone so she couldn't contact her family members.
A source, who pleaded anonymity, said that villagers got to know about the incident after the mother of the child raised the alarm after the gunmen had left their compound.
A search team was set up for a possible recovery of the baby and apprehension. However, it gave no results.
The police officer, who preferred his name not to be disclosed, confirmed the incident, noting that the police
are already on top of the matter to recover the child and also to apprehend the culprits.
