Woman returns stolen children, surrenders to police

From TONY OSAUZO, Benin

Following pressure mounted on her by her parents and neighbours, a middle aged woman, named Eloho, who allegedly stole two children last week in Benin, has surrendered herself to the police in Benin. The stolen children, Faith Omoruyi, (5) and Gold Peter, (4), who were allegedly abducted by Eloho at Useh Market and Useh Secondary School who later took them to Mechanic village in Warri, Delta State for unknown reasons, have since been reunited with their respective families.

Eloho told journalists that she took the children with the assistant of one Efe, but that she had to return the children to their parents and surrender herself to the police due to pressure mounted on her by her family members and neighbours. Edo Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Tony Airhuoyo, who confirmed the report, said the suspects would soon be charged to court. In another development, an Ikpoba-Okha Magistrate Court in Benin has sentenced four persons to three years imprisonment each with hard labour for illegal sales of landed property belonging to a community.

The four convicted persons, David Aifesehi, Matthew Oviasogie, Friday Itota and Prince Austine Ehue, said to be subordinates to late traditional ruler of the community, Prince David Ehue, were charged on a 22-count charge of false possession and illegal sales of land belonging to Evbo-Uzama Community, an offence punishable under section 419 of the Criminal Code Cap 48 Vol.II Laws of the Bendel State of Nigeria 1976 applicable to Edo State. Delivering judgment, presiding Magistrate, Mrs. Igho Braimoh, found the accused persons guilty and sentenced them accordingly.

    She brought them back due to pressure mounted on her not because she has repented. Please do prosecute and punish accordingly.

    I would wish she is forgiving especially that she was prevailed upon by her family, it will encourage others like her to fear God.

    Let the laws of the land take its course on this matter. The children are damn lucky.

    She committed a serious crime, she is a bad woman from a good family otherwise her family should not have prevailed against her attitude. She must serve jail sentence with hard labour but with lesser calendar of maximum 3 years.

    I appreciate these family members. May all families in Nigeria prevail on their members to stay away from corruption, nepotism and other vices.

    Please nothing should be done to the woman. She did not do any harm to the children. The government should help her stabilise her state of mind. She must have been desperate to have children. Govt. should help her do it by way of legal adoption.

    Thanks.
