An Assistant Superintendent of Police simply identified as ASP Kulu, alongside her accomplice, one Elizabeth, has been arrested by the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command for allegedly abducting five children, including a less than two-week-old-baby girl from Sokoto State.
Among the children were three toddlers under the ages of two, and a five-year-old named Asmau Ya’u, who was reportedly abducted while on her way to an Islamiyya school in Sokoto.
The suspects came under suspicion while traveling from Sokoto to Abuja in an 18-seater bus, as fellow passengers observed that none of the women could breastfeed the crying infant, despite her evident hunger throughout the journey.
A co-traveler who gave his name as Abba Danbaba and Comrade Nura Mukhtar of Human Rights Network Nigeria told our reporter that “On that Saturday (April 27), as we were traveling, we noticed that the children were in a frenzy and couldn’t talk.
“So, as we alighted at Deidei, we queried them to prove if they were their biological children to which they answered in the affirmative. The ASP said she couldn’t breastfeed the toddler because she’s been battling breast disease.
“We then alerted Deidei police division who took the suspects to Gwagwa division and on Monday (yesterday), they were transferred to FCT command alongside the abducted children.”
