Woman arrested for abducting six children in Port Harcourt

Six children were on Tuesday rescued from their suspected abductor in Obio-Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State.

One of the children was, however, found dead.

The incident occurred at Mango Estate in the Elelenwo area of Port Harcourt metropolis.

According to an eyewitness, Witty Smith one of the kidnapped children escaped and alerted residents of the area.

The residents later broke into the woman’s apartment and found the children tied with a rope with one of them reportedly dead.

She said: “Every parent should be careful and keep dere eyes down to guide dere child/ward no matter how tight ur work schedule is, try your best to send your child to school urself, pick them up urself and avoid useless errands for now because the world is becoming something else every day”.

“These children were rescued at Mango Estate Elelenwo from the hand of this woman who kidnapped and kept them in her house.

“But one of the children escaped and informed people around. When they broke in, they found 6 children all hands tied to their back with one already dead”

She added that she was subsequently handed over to the police for further investigation.
