A married woman in Ebonyi State was stopped from kidnapping school children in a bold move that has left many people angry and scared.…
Vigilant youths in Amachi Amagu, Ogugu area of Izzi Local Government Area, caught the woman as she allegedly tried to take pupils who were returning from school. They quickly held her and started asking questions.
At first, the suspect lied. She claimed her husband was just a tipper driver. The youths asked for his phone number and called using a fake story that his wife had an accident. The man said he was at work and would send his sister.
When the sister arrived, the truth came out. She reportedly revealed that her brother is actually a serving police officer. Many in the community were shocked that someone so close to law enforcement could be involved in such a crime.
The youths handed the woman over, but some residents claimed that police officers later arrived in a Hilux van without being invited by the community. They took the suspect away and did not allow full access or follow-up by the youths and local leaders.
No official statement has been released by the Ebonyi State Police Command so far. People are now calling for a transparent investigation to find out if this was a lone act or part of something bigger.
This case has sparked fresh fears about the rise in kidnapping for money across Nigeria. Parents and community leaders are urging more security around schools. Many wonder why desperation for quick cash is pushing even those expected to protect society into crime.
The incident serves as a sad reminder of how low some people can go. Residents hope the police will handle the matter fairly and prove that no one is above the law.
