Ogwashi Uku community in Aniocha south council area of Delta State has been thrown into confusion following the abduction of four children.
Reports from the area said residents of Umuokwe quarters are pointing accusing fingers on three women who secured an emergency accommodation in the neighborhood last Monday.
The children are 6-year-old girl, Ebube Nwafido and her sister Miracle, aged three, both of the same parent and two other girls, Chimanda, seven year, and Excel, alias Tinubu, five years, also of another parent.
The women allegedly lured the children on Friday, pretending to buy them biscuits from a popular supermarket in the community.
The ladies had earlier approached Mrs Bose Nwafido, asking whether she could direct them where to secure accommodation.
Nwafido lamented: “last Monday, the three women came asking me for a house to rent. I pointed to a direction but moment later, one of them came back and said she drank Pepsi and zobo and that she was having a running stomach; that I should allow her make use of our toilet.
“I took the lady to back of our house where she defecated in a bush and thereafter she told me she was going to withdraw money from PoS to pay for the accommodation.
“The lady later came back when I left for market and carried my first son, 10-year-old Ifechukwude to know their house and that is how they started showing kindness to children around, unknown to many they had evil plan.”
According to her, she left the children on Friday morning for a program instructing them to play within the compound as usual.
