came to their house in Aguda, Surulere, with two girls and said they were in
need of a job, He said his wife who runs a salon decided to employ Favour to
cater for their two children, a nine-year-old daughter, and their two-year-old
son.
He said on December 19, his wife, two children, and Favor left for church. He
said while in church, his wife who is a hairdresser received a call from a
customer who needed her at her shop. He said his wife left the church and gave
instructions to Favour to come to the shop with theirtwo children after the close of
service.
Mr. Otojareri said immediately after
his wife left, Favor went to the children’s church and asked the teachers to
release Praise to her. The teacher who has seen the baby boy come with Favor
and his mum to church released Praise to her. The father said his wife became
worried after she waited for hours and did not see them in her shop.
”After some hours, a call came in asking ”Are you Mummy Favour and Praise?’
She said Favour is her housemaid and Praise is her son and that she has been
looking for them for some hours now. The man said they are at Ibafor in Mowe
and that Favour said she missed her way that she was going to her sister’s
house in Ikotun. ”he said
Mr. Otojareri said his wife told the adults who called to help her hold Favour
and her son that she was on her way to meet with them. He said his wife asked
them to drop Favour and her son Praise off at the nearest police station after
the adults informed her they were still going to a further distance.
”By this time some people had gathered saying they wanted to beat Favour up as
they suspected it was a case of kidnapping. However, an Alfa came in and asked
them not to beat her.
The Alfa said he was going to take the children to the mosque with him. He
collected my wife’s number and called her to inform her that he has taken favour
and my child to the mosque.
While they were heading to the mosque, the Alfa said Favour told him that she
was going to Ikotun to go and see her sister”
The distraught father said the Alfa took the children to a mosque and then
decided to say his prayers. He said the Alfa later told his wife that after his
prayers, he returned to where he left Favor and Praise in his mosque and did not
see them again. He said he only saw the bag Favour carried that contained
Praises’ clothes.
Mr Otokareri said his wife on arriving the mosque, raised an alarm, and also
alerted the police. The Alfa was arrested. She also led the police to the home
of the sister whom Favor claimed she was going to see. The said sister who
denied any family ties with Favour was also arrested.
He said the matter has since been reported at the State Criminal Investigation
Department Lagos state and that up till today, no word has been heard from
Favour or his son. He said Favour who is about 14 years old speaks four
languages, Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba and Benue Republic fluently. He said Favour is
from Imo state.
He appealed to any member of the public with useful information on how to find
his child to call this number 07082873611 or contact the nearest police
