The authorities at Abayi Division, Abia State, are holding a female identified simply as Chioma for allegedly abducting the twin boys of her ex-tenants Mr. and Mrs. Okwudili Nwaeze.
The Nation gathered that Chioma visited her former tenants'home to, based on sources, exchange pleasantries with them.“
Mrs. Nwaeze, who was on her way to the toilet, apparently uncomfortable with the visitor, changed her mind and waited until she (Chioma) left the compound.
Mrs. Nwaeze was said to have gone back to the toilet, leaving her twins (James and John) inside their room, unknown to her that her ex-land lady was still in the compound.
A source close to the Nwaeze family said: “When she finally returned for their room, the twin babies (James and John) had disappeared. It was then that she started to raise alarm.
In agony, she began an eager search for her babies. Neighbours who had seen Chioma carry the babies told Mrs Nwaeze that her ex-tenant had the babies.
An Afor Ule market trader, Abayi Aba, said nobody suspected that Chioma abducted the babies because she'd lived with the children's parents prior to the incident.
She said Chioma, on dealing with Afor Ule junction, flagged down a commercial tricycle driver, who took her and the kids away.
An unconfirmed report said Chioma had, at the first contact with the children's family, demanded a ransom of about N10million, which the family told her they did not have.
