A nanny, Mary Akinloye, who allegedly kidnapped three kids in the Surulere area of Lagos State has demanded N15m from the victim’s parents, PUNCH Metro has learnt.

Our correspondent learnt that the family was contacted on Thursday by the suspect and others, who were suspected to be members of her group. They were said to have demanded the N15m as ransom.

PUNCH Metro had reported on Wednesday that the Orekoya family had posted information on OLX, an online sales portal, seeking the service of a nanny.

Our correspondent reported that Akinloye indicated interest and gave the Orekoyas the contacts of two people who she said were her relatives.It was reported that the family agreed to formalilse documentation with the purported relatives before the week ran out.

After the 23-year-old resumed for work on Tuesday, she was said to have taken the three children ─ Aderomola (11 months old), Adedamola (4 years old), Demola (6 years old) ─ out, while their parents were away.

She had since not returned. A family friend, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the kidnappers contacted the family and demanded N15m on Thursday.

The information was confirmed by another friend who put up the post on a social medium, Facebook.
He said, “Is it a crime to employ a house help? The kidnappers have demanded N15m.”

Efforts to reach the family were abortive as they continued to reject calls made to their lines.
They also did not reply to three text messages sent to them on the matter.

The Police Public Relations, Kenneth Nwosu, said investigations were on.
He said, “Investigations are on and that is all I can say for now.

“There are things you do that can jeopardise investigation.
“What is important in a case like this is to ensure that the children are returned hale and hearty. There are information you may have and if you disclose it, you could break the line of communication. So, we are still on the matter to ensure the safe return of the kids.”

2015.

The Nanny is just a member of a larger cabal, her referees should be investigated, how I wish The Nigerian Police is sophisticated enough to nab these crooks

I knew it will come to this. 5m for each child. What a sad world we live in.

I pray the children are not hurt. The entire team of kidnappers deserve to rot in the worst prison available.

So painful. I pray dose kids get home safely. It is well n they r in our prayers

They will return in peace IJN

She be akamu case! To catch her go easy

PUNCH Metro had reported on Wednesday that the Orekoya family had posted information on OLX, an online sales portal, seeking the service of a nanny.

OLX housemaid again


Just like the one that absconds with her mistress child to early this year.......

But, this people are becoming desperate o just the first day on the job and she showed up her flange







Wish the law enforcement will catch them and deal with them seriously

Very absurd. Nanny from OLX? Like seriously? when you can never get anything really good from OLX, how do you expect to get a good human being from OLX!
Some PARENTS though, leaving their children at the mercy of a total stranger, so absurd!

They should just negotiate, pay the money then map out a very good strategy to get that nitwit. After all she has a face cos I'm sure that's not her real name.

Can any Good thing come out of OLX...from fake car deals to property now kidnappers.
But I also blame the parents for leaving their home to somebody they just employed..thats the height of carelessness
Esp since the employee was not recommended by a know source..we need to learn how to take charge of our security.

Dey will return home in peace ijn

[size=15pt]OLX is always representing...

OLX should stop putting up billboards everywhere and employ good IT guys to clean up their site. OLX is like scammers paradise. All you see from page 1 to 10 are scams on every search [/size]

Some Pple r wicked sha! While odas r dumb!

People are wicked. I can bet that the girl is working alongside her boyfriend or brother. There's no way they'll pull this off successfully. She'll get caught

Hmmm

[size=15pt]OLX ?!!!!![/size]
Nothing good comes out from that site anymore. Why would they even seek for an house help on OLX,that's not good enough.



Come to think of it. She might possibly not be the one contacting the family. Since the information is on public domain, anybody that knows the parents phone no could attempt to 419 them.

The problem is getting solved by God's grace...At least now we know the children are with her

God will perfect everything in Jesus Name. Amen

I wonder why the parents are being blamed
Do you hire a nanny so you can stay home with Her
Assuming the parent stayed home,won't she leave home at some point
The nanny was evil
Pure and simple

This is crazy. Why would you leave your kids with a new Nanny, in the first place?

and she thinks she get it.. She wants to reap where she didn't sow. Its just that our police lacks inteligence. Normally this kind of case should be moi moi case to them (police). Nemesis will caught up with her.

May they return safely. . .

If I was the father of those kids, the moment I get my kids back, their mum would have to see her folks.
For a woman to leave her kids to a complete stranger she got from OLX(yeah! That's right!), says a lot about her level of reasoning.
She values her job more than her family and the husband should give her the chance to marry her job.

Oga ohh!! See strategies of kidnapping again! May God help us .. I pray the kidnappers get caught soon.. hope say dem dey feed those kids sha

Sad

OLX maid again ?? When will our people learn ??

Even the baby too
This must be heartbreaking
