Hijab-wearing Woman Steals Three Children (Pictured)

By -
A supposedly mad woman, wearing a hijab, has
been
arrested by the police in Lagos for stealing three kids from a community
at Itire area of the metropolis. The kids, between one and four years,
were abducted as they were returning from an Arabic school in the
community.

The suspect, Naimilatu Raheem, was said to have first
attempted to kidnap a set of twins, not far from the Arabic school when
their grandmother sighted her. The people around challenged her and
rescued the twins.

She immediately disappeared from the scene.
Raheem,
however, did not go far. She accosted Mrs Damilola Alimi on the road,
who was returning from the Arabic school with her one-yearold baby,
Fathia.
She snatched the girl from her mother.

When Raheem’s bag was searched after her arrest,
kiddies’
clothes, slippers, ‘amala and ewedu’ were discovered. Before the
arrival of the police, the residents dragged her to Oba’s palace, where
she allegedly confessed that one Alhaja, who sells herbs, sent her to
abduct kids.

A female resident said: “How can she now start claiming to be mad? She is not mad! When her phone
rang, the caller ID was, ‘My love.’
But
she refused to pick it.” Some of the residents said that ID card found
on her, showed that her name is Nimot Lukman, who sells soft drinks and
resides at Costain area of the metropolis.

When journalists asked
the suspect some questions, she couldn’t make any sense. She cried
throughout. A police source, however, said that the woman had a
two-year-old son in the Arabic school, called Mohammed.
Alimi, still shocked over the incident, said: “She
approached me and demanded for my baby.

Without
thinking twice or even knowing what I was doing, I handed Fathia to
her. Someone watching us asked me if I knew her. When I said I didn’t,
the person asked why I gave my baby to her.

I immediately
snatched my baby from her. She ran away.” When Raheem realised that the
people in the neighbourhood had discovered her game plan, she ran into
the mosque, which housed the Arabic school, whipped out a hijab from her
handbag, covered her head and pretended to be praying.
