The woman identified as one Agbowo
Esther, from Nkalagu in Ishiellu Local Government Area of Ebonyi State,
has told a really stunning tale.
She narrated how a man, who claimed to be a pastor, lured her to Delta state and stole her two children.
According to Daily Post, the single
mother of two, Agbowo Esther, told the Ebonyi state Police Command that
she didn’t know how she fell for the alleged lover, Raphael Kanwei’s
lies.
This is just as the police paraded suspected child kidnappers, including Kanwei before newsmen in the state.
Parading the suspects on Thursday, the
State Commissioner of Police, CP, Peace Ibekwe-Abdallah, said the
command busted a child stealing/trafficking syndicate in the state.
The CP said the notorious syndicate who
specialized in child stealing/trafficking at Uburu, in Ohaoazara Local
Government Area, LGA, of the state were arrested through the combined
efforts of residents.
Abdallah said, “The command nabbed three suspects, Raphael Kanwei, Anthonia Okeke, and Chukwuka Muonye, who are currently in detention.
“The
syndicate came to Uburu with a Toyota Camry Car with Reg. No
BEN-173-AU, to unleash their nefarious act on the people of the area.
“In
the course of investigation, one Esther Agbowo from Nkalagu in Ishiellu
LGA in company of her father reported that she was lured with her two
children to Delta by a man named Kanwei,.
“Kanwei,
who claimed to be a pastor, said that he was ready to marry Esther and
took her to Asaba where she was abandoned with her two children taken
from her.
“Esther
then returned to Ebonyi without the children and based on the report,
the suspects were brought before her and she identified Kanwei as the
man who went away with her children,” the CP added, stating that the
Anti-Kidnapping team swung into action with Kanwei as a pointer.
“In
the process, some suspects whom the children passed through while they
were being sold and bought in the ‘child selling and buying’ transaction
were also nabbed.
“Investigation is ongoing and the other members of the gang will be arrested and brought to book,” the CP added.
