Nigerian Tribune, who confirmed the incident said the three women lured the children by buying them biscuits.
This happened in Umuokwe Quarters in Ogwashi Uku community in the Aniocha South Council Area of Delta State over the weekend.
The children have been identified as six-year-old Ebube Nwafido and her three-year-old sister Miracle, both from the same parents, and two other girls—seven-year-old Chimanda and five-year-old Excel, alias Tinubu, also from different parents.
Suspicion was raised concerning the women after they had secured an emergency accomodations on Monday, April 14.
An eyewitness, Mrs. Bose Nwafido who confirmed the incident said the women had approached her to help them secure a one room apartment.
It was last Monday when the three women came asking me for a house to rent. I pointed them in a direction, but moments later, one of them came back and said she drank Pepsi and zobo and that she was having a running stomach; she asked to use our toilet.
“I took the lady to the back of our house where she defecated in a bush. Afterwards, she told me she was going to withdraw money from a POS to pay for the accommodation.
“The lady later came back when I left for the market and took my 10-year-old son, Ifechukwude, to see their house. That’s when they started showing kindness to the children. Unbeknownst to many, they had evil plans.”
At about 12 noon, some children came back to say the aunty wanted to buy biscuits for them. That’s how my children went to the house when I wasn’t around.”
The children could not be found afterwards, and when concerns were raised, residents stormed the women’s room and found it to be empty – the women and the children were gone.
The spokesperson of Delta State Police Command, SP Bright Edafe, confirmed the incident, adding that investigations are ongoing.
