Four children have been kidnapped in the Amako community, located in Njaba Local Government Area of Imo State.
The abducted children, identified as Jemine Divine (4 years old), Jemine Isaiah (2 years old), Ugwuegbu Victor (2 years old), and Ugwuegbu Success (4 years old), were taken by two new female tenants on Saturday, May 27, 2023.
FMT BLOG confirmed according to a source in the community, the children were playing at their home in Amako, along with other children, when the recently arrived women asked them to accompany them to a nearby barbershop to have their hair cut. The women then took the children and never returned.
Of the four abducted children, two belong to Mrs Chinasa, while the other two are the children of her elder sister.
Upon returning from the market, the mother of the children searched for them but couldn’t find them. She immediately went to the police station to report the incident.
