Corn seller loses twin to kidnappers in Bayelsa
A corn seller, identified as Mrs Modupe Joseph, has lost her twins to suspected ritualists at the popular Ekeki motor park in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.
Modupe reportedly left her 11-year-old daughter, Funmi, and the twins, Kehinde and Taye in custody of local herbal concoction seller, identified as Mrs Aisha Ahmed, and the abductors showed up shortly afterwards.
Funmi, the eldest of the children, said she told the abductor that their mother went to Tombia market to buy things she needed for the days business.
“When I told him that, he asked if the twins had eaten, said yes. He then gave me N200 to buy biscuits and sweets for the twins. I said I can’t leave but he said he would be there to take care of them.
“That was how I left them with him to buy what he sent me to buy. On my way inside the park, something told me it was not safe to leave them alone with him. As I ran back to the point I left them I saw them entering a black Siena car with my brother.
“By the time I could raise alarm to attract passersby, the car sped off with my brothers inside,” she said.
