MISSIING: Nanny Takes Off With Three Kids A Day After Employment.

The Orekoya family on Lawanson Road, Surulere, Lagos State would not forget this in a hurry, and this is because a nanny employed by the household disappeared with three children a day after she was employed.

The names of the missing children are Aderomola, (11 months), Adedamola (4 years) and Demola (6 years).

The nanny, Mary Akinloye, a 23-year-old indigene of Ibadan, Oyo State, was said to have been contracted via OLX, an online sales portal.

 The mother whilst taking with PUNCH said:

“We had someone who was taking care of the kids before now. But the woman did not show up on Saturday and Sunday and we urgently needed someone to assist because we were going to resume work on Monday. We were disturbed and that was why I posted the information on OLX.

“She (Akinloye) called us and said she was interested. She said she was 23 years. I agreed to employ her in the interim because I really did not like the fact that she was young. She agreed to collect between N10, 000 to N15,000 even though our former nanny collected N25,000.

“I left her at home this morning (Wednesday) around 7.30am. It was around 1pm that my eldest son called me and said she had taken his siblings away. He said she told him they were going out to buy some things. She took the 11 months on her back and held the others by the hand. She has since not returned.”

Adebisi said the nanny was so much in a haste to whisk the children away that she did not allow them to eat.

Her husband, Leke, a businessman, said the nanny gave the family the contacts of her relatives, who they spoke with on the telephone.

The relatives were said to have agreed to meet with the Orekoyas during the week to finalise documentation.

He said, “We spoke with two people she introduced to us as her brother and sister. They confirmed that they were her relatives.

“They gave us a vague description of where they lived in Ikorodu. We agreed to do proper documentation this week.

“It was in less than 24 hours that she went away with the kids.

“She never gave us an idea that she was on an evil mission.

“Her spoken English was fluent. She said she had a National Diploma and just wanted to make some money so she could return to school.”

It was learnt that the purported relatives had since remained unreachable on their telephone lines.

The family was said to have contacted the police from the Itire division, who reportedly told the family to wait for 24 hours.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Nwosu, confirmed the abduction, saying the police had started   investigation with a view to rescuing the children.

Praying for them to be found and quickly too. Any information as regards the case and you can reach them on  08052062117, 09098097935.
