The family of the little girl who was abducted in Lagos by a woman, Chijioke Akauba, who indented to sell off the child to a buyer in Anambra, has identified the kidnapped little girl as Fatima Idowu.

According to an interview with Lindaikejisblog, the family said the little girl was abducted from the Agege Oke-Oba area in Lagos while she went to a naming ceremony with her family on Tuesday, March 1.

It was gathered that the naming ceremony was her brother’s, so Fatima’s mother, Rashidat who was looking after her daughter during the ceremony, left the little girl with other kids playing inside the compound to join other relatives in serving food to their guests.

Later in the evening, after all the guests had been attended to, Rashidat returned to discover her daughter was no longer with other kids. She called the child’s father Idowu Kamir to ask if he left with their daughter, but he didn’t.

They began searching for their child, going from the police station to the Oba’s Palace but nothing positive came out of their search. Meanwhile, the kidnapper had taken the child all the way to Anambra state, Eastern Nigeria.

Fatima was found this week in Anambra with a woman named Chijioke Akuba. Chijioke, from Odida Nnewichi, said she was to be paid N150K after the girl was sold 

Fortunately, she was nabbed before the sale could go through. The family of Fatima said they have not been reunited with their child yet and only saw the child today, March 8, in video shared on Instagram by LIB.
