OWERRI – Palpable confusion and apprehension reigned in Saint Mulumba’s Catholic Parish, Owerri, following the kidnapping of three girls that attended the 7am mass in the church yesterday.

The abducted children are; six-month old Munachi Ikwuazu, her two-and-a- half year old elder sister, Ugonma Ikwuazu, as well as two-and-a- half year old Uchechi Ukwuoma.

Concerted efforts made by Vanguard to talk with the parents of the three children proved abortive as they were completely short of words on what to say about the incident.

While the father of Munachi and Ugonma, Mr. Remigius Ikwuazu only managed to say that they are from Umuhu, Enyiogugu, Aboh Mbaise local government area of Imo State,Uchechi’s father, Mr. Nnaemeka Ukwuoma said he is from Umuoma, Nekede, Owerri West local council area of the state.

Confirming the ugly development, the Parish Priest, Rev. Fr. Justin Okoro, wondered why anybody would want to perpetrate such a dastardly act on innocent lads that came to worship their God.

“These abducted innocent lads were on their way home after the children’s mass when the ugly incident took place. I am completely devastated but the situation is obviously worse for the children’s parents”, Rev. Fr. Okoro said.

Answering a question, Okoro confirmed that he had reported the matter to his Local Ordinary, Archbishop Anthony J. V. Obinna, and the security agencies.

Narrating the story of how her sisters were abducted, 10-year old Chinaza Ikwuazu said “a lady confused us, took us in a Keke NAPEP to the Old Market, made a few calls and told the receiver to hurry to where we were, adding that she had some children with her”.

She pleaded with the people holding her sisters to please allow them to re-unite with the family, adding that “God will bless them if they do this for us”.

Sun of god:

Security has always been non-existant but we never used to resort to this sort of crime.

The fact of the matter is people are motivated to do these evil acts.

And as sick as it sounds I would prefer these kidnappers go back into international '419' if they really most make money by any means.

Maybe GEJ should take a leaf out of IBB's book and turn a blind eye to certain crimes that actually boost the economy.

These random kidnappings of local people is the worst form of crime as far as I'm concerned.

I'm sorry but the story is not clear. . .so 2 two and half years old and a 6month old baby were left in the care of a 10 yrs old child? Is that what they are saying??!!  

So who's behind the kidnapping of these children in iboland ?

i think i prefer the days of yahoo yahoo at least the economy was booming , now it has reduced theres nothin left for the youths to do so they resort to kidnapping, armed robbery, rituals etc.

It is completely irresponsible to send a 10 year old and two and a half year old children home from church on Keke NAPEP as described in this story. Where were the parents? The parents should be fined heavily or made to spend a few days in jail for bad parenting, after the children are found. SMH

@The O.P, is there any reason why you are too scared to start threads at the appropriate sections?.
What a shame.

"Cannibalism can explain the problems of igbos.

The widespread practice of cannibalism in vast areas of Imo, Abia and Enugu (and to some extent Ebonyi) is an open secret in modern Nigerian history. As recent as in the contemporary period, cannibalistic activities were reported in those areas particularly in Abia and Imo states.
Historically, in every human settlement where cannibalism was practiced, the darker a human is, the more nutritious he/she was assumed to be. It is this belief that put darker members of the community or neighboring  community to greater danger of being killed and eaten than fairer ones. In fact, the fair ones are considered as taboo to eat as they are considered to be cursed by the gods.

As a result of depletion of the darker people in such communities, the offspring became increasingly lighter and higher proportion of albinism as well birth defects are  recorded. Such defects include severe mental problems, anti-social behaviour like kidnapping, pipeline vandalism and oil bunkering, sight defects and se.xu.al[b] impotency[/b]"

"She (the ten-year old sister of two of the abducted kids) pleaded with the people holding her sisters to please allow them to re-unite with the family, adding that “God will bless them if they do this for us”."

I had to try, unsuccessfully, to hold back tears when I read this highly moving entreaty from such a little innocent girl.

In her pure innocence, she must have thought that the invocation of the name of God could soften the evil and devilish hearts of the disgusting scumbags to release her little dear sisters!.

Committing just any crime is bad enough, but committing a particularly heinous crime such as kidnapping against very young children as in this case, makes the crime particularly despicable.

One can only hope that the trauma of the little kids would end soon, and the animals-in-human-skin who committed this bestial act are eventually caught and dully punished.

I normally do not support capital punishment, but if someone is found to be so inherently as evil and wicked as to have kidnapped children as young as these, I believe such a beast has effectively forfeited his/her rights to be allowed to continue to live among humans, hence IT should be put down, for the greater good of the society!

Not setting my golden feet in Nigeria until you ppl behave yourselves.

A precious cargo (new gem) should not even be touched inappropriately.

Where is your God now? She wont answer until you pray her and not the god of judas or allah

o ga o.

shouldnt something be done about the amazing lack of moral compasses so prevalent in people these days.

just today i was thinking about things like this.

some people are so far gone that they'll even try to harm other folk's children out of sheer jealousy and bad belle.

nobody fears God anymore.

lord have mercy on our wickedness oh.

NOTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT. HERE IS THE REASON:

This is beyond Pathetic

Speechless. . .what can I say?

Always amazing how peeps will comment,blame,identify the root cause,discuss and weep for nigeria, but what steps did you actually take to change nigeria?what step?typing from a keyboard?at least create a facebook page, launch a site, anything at all, it all start from small, am doing mine, how about you?

we only get 2 see this kind of things in fiction movies in d year past but very unfortunately, it is happening practically b/4 us all, not even an unborn child is safe anymore in d confort of d mothers belle. People can do just anything 2 cope with d very harsh economic situation of this country. GOD 've mercy.

serious matter is on while the poster w/ the ID - takeoverso just made the worst ever , my eyes are blind now , ur post will never make me watch pornography in Jesus name amen.

okay, back to the topic; I'm no longer amazed at how low people can drop in other to make money. Kiddnapping three toddlers. A woman involved. I think 4 life sentences should invoked for this kind of crime, also profiling of offenders as well.

Na wa o, no moderator again ni? Before them blind our eyez for here? My eyes don glue to the screen na? shuo?

lolzz

This does not sound like a regular kidnap for ransom case.
We should all pray that nothing bad happens to those little angels.

I am scared for my little sister now, she lives in Owerri.

Reading this is making me full of worry and tears. May God punish the evildoers of this crime and may they come back wholesome as before.

Just three?

its jxt not undastandable y a parent shuld leave a six months baby unda d kia of ha 10 yrz daughta. Dia parents shuld be dealt wt 4 abusin a child

As the options for making money get thinner and thinner, the desperation in our youths (majority of whom are unemployed or under-employed) would increase exponentially. Since the government cannot create jobs or boost the economy to ensure mass prosperity, I strongly believe it is idiotic to stifle other illicit but preferable means of making money (especially 419/yahoo yahoo and drug trafficking). You cannot put the cart before the horse. Frankly, I could care less if some gullible oyinbo is defrauded in a phoney scheme, or a cocaine addict in Wall Street gets his fix from a Nigeria-exported joint; as long as people aren't forced to become heartless enough to kidnap toddlers (possibly for 'money-making ritual' purposes) just to maintain a decent lifestyle. If things continue at this rate we would soon witness a complete shut-down of law and order. You need to mingle in the streets to see the bewildering extent of joblessness, frustration and desperation. We're sitting on a keg of gun-powder.

May God help Nigerians!!!

my 2 favorite towns, jos and owerri, are no longer save? Lord have mercy
