A woman was beaten severely by an angry mob after she allegedly stole a baby and was caught in Imo state.

It was gathered that the woman allegedly kidnapped a two-month old baby whom the mother finished breastfeeding on Monday, November 19th, at Mammy market in Obinze, Owerri West area of the state.

According to Tosin Rosy, while the mother was about to dress the baby’s bed, the woman (suspected kidnapper) who looked pregnant – stole the baby and was walking away before the mother noticed and raised an alarm.

The mother’s loud scream attracted her neighbours who intervened and descended on the suspected kidnapper.

She was later dragged to the police station after receiving severe torture from the angry neighbours.
