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.
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.
