A 20-month old child, Opeyemi Ogundele was reported stolen on Sunday during a naming ceremony in Abeokuta. NAN learnt that the incident happened at Mile 2, Iyana Concord, Akorede Estate, Ilugun Inukosegba Community in Abeokuta North Local Government Area of the state. Community members, however, besieged the residence of one Chief Olasile Ifayemi, an herbalist alleged to be the kidnapper of the child.

Elizabeth Ogundele, 26, mother of the toddler, who narrated her ordeal, said she was getting ready for her niece’s naming ceremony when she discovered her son was missing.

She said that she had gone to celebrate with her brother, Olusola Osunleke on Sunday when the incident happened..

“I was helping my brother’s wife get ready for the ceremony when I noticed that my son was missing.

“I searched for him in and around the house because some tenants said they saw him playing ball, but he was nowhere to be seen.

“I ran outside the house into the community still searching and that was when I encountered two guys at Chief Ifayemi’s house.

“I asked if they had seen my son, they denied and started giggling, so I left.”

NAN reports that youths in the community vandalised the bungalow belonging to the alleged kidnapper. Different fetish items and human parts were discovered at the scene as angry youths were getting ready to set the bungalow ablaze.
