However, the girl, was rescued in Abeokuta, Ogun State, on Monday by the police and reunited with her parents. The captors had pretended as members of the church and established rapport with children in the church.
Speaking with Punch Newspaper on Monday, the victim’s father, Oladapo Ajelero, said the captors had contacted him on the phone, telling him to cooperate. He, however, said they had yet to request any ransom.
He said, "It happened around 1pm on Sunday. The children finished their service before us and were playing on the church premises; Oluwabunmi was among them. Suddenly, one of her friends rushed in and said two men had lured and taken her away through the back of the church. Some people in the area said they saw her sitting between two men on a motorcycle. I learnt they escaped through Nathan Street. Our hearts are broken, we don’t know what to do anymore. They have called and instructed me to cooperate. I am still expecting their calls, but for now they have not asked for any ransom."
The Lagos Police spokesperson, DSP Kenneth Nwosu, however, said Olawunmi had been rescued by a police team drawn from divisions in the state, adding that he was not aware that the family paid any ransom.
He said, "The child has been found in Abeokuta, Ogun State and reunited with her parents. Investigations are ongoing to track down the kidnappers."
