19-year-old girl in police net over alleged kidnapping

A 19-year-old girl,
Miss Tina Enebere, is now
cooling her heels in police
custody for allegedly
kidnapping five-year-old Gift
Agbasoga and his three-year-
old younger brother, Emmanuel
Agbasoga.
Vanguard investigation
revealed that Miss Enebere stole
the two brothers from
Immaculate Heart of Mary
Catholic Church, Orsu Obodo,
Oguta local council area of Imo
State.
Luck, however, ran out on the
teenage kidnapper when she
tried ferrying her victims
across Oguta Lake in a speed
boat without Gift, who started
crying profusely to be taken
along.
“The young boy’s pathetic cry
attracted the attention of
commercial motorcycle
operators at the scene. They
innocently stopped the girl from
crossing the lake without
getting to know the true story,”
a villager told Vanguard.
The villager said the girl
claimed that she was taking the
boy to his father but when the
motorcyclists contacted the
parent, Mr. Chinonso Agbasoga,
he denied knowledge of any
such arrangement.
Agbasoga thanked God for
miraculously intervening in the
near mishap, stressing that it
would have been double
tragedy, having lost his wife
earlier.
Reacting to the incident, the
Parish Priest, Rev. Fr. Ernest
Muforo, wondered why such a
young girl would conceive such
a dastardly act, adding that
only a forthnight ago, some
hoodlums attempted to kidnap a
six-year-old boy, Onyedika
Ekegha, also from Orsu Obodo.
The Police Public Relations
Officer, PPRO, Mr. Linus
Nwaiwu, a deputy
superintendent of police, DSP,
decried the rising cases of child
theft in the state, pointing out
that the law would take its
course, if and when the
perpetrators were arrested.
