Three year old Oluwasemilore Adebiyi pictured above, has been kidnapped by her mother’s apprentice identified as Grace John from Benue state at her mother’s shop located at Number 1 James Oyedele street off Temidire road Moshalashi Alagbado area of Lagos state on Saturday January 28th.

Narrating how she was kidnapped, her father, Adebiyi Olawunmi Festus, said Grace had resumed as an apprentice at his wife, Tobiloba Adebiyi’s bead and hat making shop last week, Monday, January 23rd. She was asked to provide a guarantor as well as a passport for documentation but the apprentice kept giving excuses.

“On that Saturday January 28th, she told my wife that she wanted to go and buy gala and my daughter pleaded with her mum that she wanted to follow Aunty Grace. The mother permitted her to go. Minutes after Grace and the little girl failed to return, my wife started looking for her. She saw them on the road with one guy who she thought was Grace’s brother/guarantor and that they were coming to her shop to fill her guarantors form. When they did not return, she went back to the place where she had earlier seen them but couldn’t find them again. She started calling Grace’s number who would pick up and drop immediately until she switched off her phone”

The little girls mother, Tobilola, said she had previously taken a photo of Grace with her phone but after the incident, she couldn’t find the photo again. Apparently, Grace had deleted the photo as she planned to kidnap the little girl.

The matter has been reported at the Alagbado police station. Anyone with any useful information should contact her parents on 08028521316 or report to the nearest police station.
