Her Full Confession
I was home when my brother-Inlaw's wife came and said they are looking for a housemaid. I said how can I be a housemaid. Then my husband and his brother said we use it to extort money. I said Ok. I went. The woman employed me. I stayed for four days at Magodo-Isheri. Then I kidnapped the children on Sunday and brought them down to Adbijo.

They called me, and said I'm going for another mission. I said Again? My brother in law's wife, checked OLX and saw the woman's number and gave me. I called the woman and she said I should see her and move in the next day. So I moved in the next day, a Wednesday. She was very nice to me. Then I called them and said should I come home without the children? They said for what? That's what you went there to do.

So I put the 11 month old on my back and held the 4 year and six year. We boarded a bus to Ojuelegba, the Iyana -Ipaja. When i got home, i was not happy, I said whatever they want to do, do it fast and send the kids back because of the baby. I said leave the kids, they said the man is stubborn. I read in the media they asked for 15 million. I told them the money was too much, the woman is just a banker.They said the man must pay.

These are the people involved...My husband, my brother-inlaw, and his wife, my four kids and mother-inlaw. My mother-inlaw almost had hypertension because of this. She said she doesn't want any of these.

On how she was arrested, the Lagos State Police commissioner said:

“Upon the rescue of the kids, I gave the directive that she should be arrested. We tracked her down through her phone, using the technological tools at our disposal. We arrested her at Shasha, where the children were rescued. Initially she denied that she was involved in the kidnap. But eventually she opened up. We are in hot pursuit of others and we will get them soon.”
