A 6-month-old baby, Chinedu Chukwueke, has reportedly been stolen at his mother’s salon shop in Kure Ultra-Modern Market, Minna, Niger State. The father of the boy, Chikezie Stanley Chuks, broke the sad news on his Facebook page. He wrote, “Good afternoon, pls my baby boy by name Chinedu Chukwueke of 6 months old was taken from my wife’s shop today Sunday 23 July, 2023 at Kure market Minna. Pls any useful information about this little baby should be reported to the nearest Police station or contact 07033186837.”

The worried father said, “She’s of average height, light in complexion, with 11 facial marks. She spoke Igala and introduced herself as Rabi. She was wearing a red dress with a matching hijab.”

When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in Niger State, DSP Wasiu Abiodun, said the incident had not been officially reported to the Police. “I wish to use this medium to advise the parent to report at GRA Police Division, which covers Kure Market for documentation and necessary in-depth investigation towards ensuring the rescue of the baby and arrest of the culprit,” he said.
