Mrs Oluwatobi Adebiyi, a milliner, who also strings beads hired, apprentice, Grace John to work at her shop just 5 days before her daughter was abducted by her.
According to Vanguard, Grace approached Mrs Adebiyi two weeks ago, signifying her interest to learn the art of bead and hat making.
Mrs Adebiyi agreed to have her learn the trade from her and gave her conditions for registration. Grace agreed to the agreement, left and promised to return with the requirement.
Grace reported to the shop located at 1, James Oyedele Street, Moshalashi, on January 23 and made a part payment of N10,000 to Mrs Adebiyi. When asked to provide two copies of her passport photographs and a guarantor, Grace assured her boss-to-be that she would make them available by Saturday, January 28. However, what happened next has brought great grief to the family.
“I was not at home when the incident happened. But my wife told me that while Grace was leaving the shop, our three-year-old baby was crying after her. My wife allowed her to go with Grace without an inkling of any sinister motive.
“But after waiting for about five minutes without seeing them, she went out of the shop and saw Grace standing with a man whom she concluded could be her brother that was to come and stand as a guarantor for her. She went back into the shop.
“She was tempted to go out and look for them having waited for some time. But this time around, neither Grace, the stranger nor our baby was seen. She immediately called Grace’s phone. But she kept cutting the calls, saying she was in a noisy place.
“At a point, she switched off her phone. It is so strange because this particular baby does not like strangers carrying her. We have not heard anything from her since Saturday.”The father added that there has been no call to demand for ransom for the release of their daughter.
