Abia State Police Command has confirmed the abduction of four children of three parents in Abia community, warning the public against entrusting their children in the custody of strangers.

AbnTV reports that four children, namely JOY UDOMA (Female, three years old), OGBONNA UDOMA (Male, six years old), CHIOMA KINGSLEY (Female, five years old) and MIRACLE IKECHUKWU (Female, five years old) were abducted at the weekend by female tenants who recently moved into a compound in Ubakala Street, Umuahia.

The command in a statement signed by the PRO, ASP Maureen Chinaka made available to AbnTV on Monday said one Mrs Ifeanyi Udoma Ibe, a resident of Ubakala Street by Ossai Road, Umuahia, reported to the Central Police Station(CPS) Umuahia that she entrusted four children to the care of a new female tenant, including two of hers and her neighbours’.

On the same day, the new tenant made away with the four children, the command said.

She said, "Police interaction with Mrs. Ibe revealed that the tenant had moved in just three days before the incident and Mrs. Ibe could not provide details such as the tenant's name or GSM number.

"Anyone with useful information regarding the missing children should report to the nearest police station or contact the PPRO via 07059951536.

"The complainant, Mrs. Ibe, brought this report to the attention of the police one day after the incident occurred.

"At present, the police have arrested some suspects associated with the unknown tenant and investigation is in progress to determine the whereabouts of the children.

"The public is strongly advised to report matters of this nature immediately to the police control room as soon as they discover such occurrences before physically reporting the incident at the police station."

The command urged Abia residents to make use of its Control Room phone numbers are:
08035415406
08079210004
08079210005
08079210006

It also warned against entrusting underage children to unfamiliar individuals, urging for the maintenance of a vigilant approach when minors are seen with adult companions.

"Interview both the child and the accompanying person; if unsatisfied with explanations involve the police for necessary action", the command warns.

May God save the children.

Security is everybody's business.

I suggest that the landlord of the new tenant should be jailed to teach other landlords and landladies that they have a role to play in the security of the society.

Landlords and landladies should verify the identities of prospective tenants.

Meanwhile, tribalists will use this post against the entire Igbo race. I won't be surprised if they even drag IPOB here.
