31year old Blessing Aransiola was
caught in the early hours of this morning April
10th allegedly trying to steal a 1 year old
girl, Oreoluwa Adanri, from her parents home at
Ademola Coker Street, Alagbole, Ogun State, PM
News reports.
Narrating what happened, Oreoluwa's mother, Mrs
Adanri said Blessing gained entrance into their
home around 4am by tearing their window net as
they slept. She said she was woken up by the cry
of her daughter in the hands of the suspect.
"She picked up the baby as she was
sleeping on the bed by the window and
stole N5,000 kept in a purse. She was
trying to run away when my husband ran
after her and caught her. I raised an alarm
to draw neighbours’ attention to the incident
and everybody came out to assist us,” Mrs.
Adanri narrated.
Blessing was arrested and immediately taken to
the Ajuwon station where she is being held for
kidnapping. Continue...
In her statement, Blessing said she was homeless
and was looking for a place to sleep when she
found the passage of the Adanri's
"I was looking for a place to sleep when I
saw the verandah. I was trying to sit down
when the net got torn. I was wandering
about, I didn’t steal any baby or money.
Last year November I sustained injury on
my leg and I couldn’t walk properly again.
Later, I developed problems in my eyes and
I couldn’t see properly again. Since then I
have been moving about,”
“I am not a thief. They accused me of
kidnapping but I am not a kidnapper, I was
just wandering about because I have
nowhere to sleep. I did not kidnap any
child,” she stated.
Blessing says this is not the first time she has
been wrongly labeled a thief, as she was thrown
out from her former abode at no 5, Modupeola
Street, Iju-Ishaga, by her landlord after her co-
tenants labeled her a thief.
