A female kidnapper who disguised as a mad woman
has been nabbed.
The suspect was apprehended by a bus passenger on
Monday at about 7:30am at the Oriolori area of Ikire of
Osun state.
The unidentified woman was speaking to someone on
phone and her conversation was gathered to be in a low
tone.
This raised suspicion as the bus passenger who stood
close to her raised the alarm after the mad woman was
alleged to have said in Yoruba ‘Omo Obirin kekere shi
wa pelu iya re. Mo nwo na’ meaning ‘The little girl is still
with her mother, I am watching.’
An emerging irate mob, upon listening to the
passenger’s explanation, pounced on the suspect. She
tried to run away after she was noticed to be sane.
The suspect was seriously beaten and was almost
lynched but for the intervention of policemen.
Although the police is yet to comment on the incident,
Daily Post, gathered that the suspect was handcuffed
and taken away in police van.
