A woman has been arrested after local vigilante group in Ikorodu, Onyabo caught her for allegedly kidnapping a teenager who had been missing for three days.

The boy was found with his mouth and hands tied in the woman’s apartment. According to InsideMainland, the woman was a friend to the victim’s mother. The suspect, who is a resident of Babalola Aroyewun Street, Igbogbo, was apprehended on Saturday, October 22.

According to a resident who preferred anonymity, she said that “the boy usually comes to the compound to assist her mother’s friend to fetch water and do other chores. He is a friendly boy who goes about his activities with smiles all over his face. He was declared missing for three days and the case was reported at the Igbogbo Police Station and the Onyabo vigilante group.”

The suspect was however arrested on Saturday morning when her neighbours overheard strange voices coming from her flat.

The neighbours ran a check but found an empty flat with nothing in it. However, the strange voices continued and a call was placed to the suspect who was away from the house at that point.

She, however, denied knowledge of the happenings in her flat. The neighbours informed the Police when some strangers were seen around her flat.

The security team rushed to the scene and eventually found the boy with his hands and mouth tied in her flat.
