Child Alert

Wonders shall never cease! Below is the story of a 9 and 19 year old child and teenage kidnapper.


A teenager, Rachael John, and a nine-year-old girl, Joy Atunramu, have been arrested by men of Ogun State Police Command for allegedly kidnapping their neighbour’s nine-month-old baby.


The suspects were arrested on Wednesday by detectives attached to Ilese Police Division, Ijebu Ode.
The baby was said to have been lured away from the mother’s shop at Old Toll gate area of the town by Atunramu, allegedly acting on the instruction of Rachael.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said the police swung into action after the mother of the baby rushed to the police station to lodge a complain about the incident.
Adejobi, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, said Rachael was later arrested with the baby at Ogbere in the Ijebu area.

The police spokesman said, “It was gathered that the suspect had  a conflict with the mother of the baby  before the baby was stolen. She vowed, via a written letter,  to deal with the mother of the baby.
“Though initially, the mother did not know who actually stole the baby, neighbours and some eyewitnesses, who saw the suspect with the baby intimated the mother and the police detectives with the information before the arrest of the suspects.
“It was also gathered that the suspect (Rachael) allegedly demanded the sum of N2m before she would release the baby.”

For My G.Ma - Felicia

So, I was scrolling through my phone gallery and saw the last photo I had with my G.Ma. Oh by the way, Christmas was her birth and death day. I’m writing this because of her. Just to share a bit of her awesomeness with you. That woman was a bad-ass! Reminiscing on my childhood memories with her, I realized she was the reason I love Christmas. I usually spent my Christmas and New-Year holidays with her as a child. She would take me to her church and ask the priest to allow me join other children in the Christmas carol rehearsals and performances. She would take me to the salon and have my hair done and accessorized. I hated making my hair, it was just too stressf...

Yes.    So, what have you been up to?  As for me, after the whole #EndSARS movement, I just literally had this block. In fact, I wrote a couple of things in my notebook but just couldn’t bring myself to sharing here.  I was beyond devastated, as many people – Nigerians were.    Anyways, before and since then, I was also doing a lot of thinking, studying, and preparing for a professional examination, which I wrote and passed in December, last year – yay!! Then, I have just been having ideas on a lot of things I would have loved to share with you but you know what they say about procrastination. Yea….got the best of this relationship!   I’m sorry.  Now, I hope to be more consistent – I know I have said that a mi...
