Report surfaced yesterday that two Children were on Sunday
night, December 7, abducted by their housemaid at about 6p.m., from
their home in Gateway Crescent in the Magodo, Isheri area of Lagos
State, when their parents went out.
It has been gathered that the housemaid identified simply as Juliet was hired through a sale portal, OLX.
The two children Rafael (3), and 15-month-old Michael are said to be nephews of Nollywood actress, Kate Henshaw.
The mother of the abducted children, Mrs. Onajite Esharegharan, and
her husband, Elvis were said to have secured the service of the maid
identified simply as Juliet through a sale portal, OLX, where a visitor, identified simply as Omolade, advertised.
Omolade had allegedly posted a number on the website for those who were interested in a “humble” housemaid to apply, an advertisement to which Onajite responded. After which Omolade took Juliet to Onajite’s office.
Speaking with Punch at the Unity Estate, Ojodu, Lagos, where Onajite’s aunt lives, Onajite said, that fateful day was her husband’s birthday and so they decided to have a couple’s outing so she told the maid to take the children to bed immediately because they were very tired.
The parents of the children lament:
“We got back home at 9pm. It was Abigail, the nurse that opened
the door for us. When we entered, everywhere was quiet and that was when
my husband became suspicious because usually, our children would have
run from upstairs to say welcome.
“She probably deceived the kids that she was taking them to their mum. Her telephone line and that of Omolade have been switched off since yesterday (Sunday). We lodged complaints at the Isheri Police Station and the Department of State Service. The police said it was beyond their capacity, but the DSS promised to track the housemaid down,” she said.
Her husband said: “We just hope nothing is going to happen to them. We do not have any specific suspicion as to where she took them to.”
Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Kenneth Nwosu explained that efforts were on to rescue the victims, while also appealing to members of the public to provide any useful information that will lead to the rescue of the kids and reunite them with their parents.
