Three –month old baby, five others abducted in Delta

Three –month old baby, five others abducted in Delta



Six members of a family, including a three-month-old baby were at the weekend kidnapped by armed men in Effurun, Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State.
It was gathered that the victims were abducted while leaving their home located around Oru Standard Hotel, Jakpa Road, on Saturday afternoon, in a Honda CRV Sport Utility Vehicle.
The three children (aged two, four and 14 years) were later abandoned in a nearby bush in Ughelli area of the state.
The release reportedly followed persistent wailing by the two-year-old.
The whereabouts of the three month-old baby, her mother and another victim, said to be related to the family, remained unknown at the time of this report on Monday afternoon.
However, our correspondent gathered that the fate of the victims assumed a dramatic twist on Sunday after members of the family reported the incident at the Ekpan Police Station, much to the anger of the kidnappers, who had earlier warned them against going to the police.
“Immediately the matter was reported at the police station they called to tell us (family members) that we have gone to the station, the station, how many persons went to the station and what transpired there.
“Thereafter they refused to negotiate with the family and even upped the ransom from N5million to N11million. What is surprising to us now is how the kidnappers knew everything that transpired at the police station,” a source close to the family wondered.
Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Charles Muka, who was contacted, said he was yet to get details on the issue.

DIY: 15mins Easy Peasy Wrap Skirt

6 years ago when hubby-to-be and I decided to take that bold leap, I went hunting for the right material to make a nice outfit for our *introduction program and soon made me a nice skirt and blouse for the 'do'. Fast forwarded to 2013, my dress size understandably changed from 6 (yes I was a sz 6) to 10 and there was no other option than to give out my much loved outfit to someone who is slimmer. Only hitch being that the scarf went into hiding at the time I gave it away only to resurface last week from its hiding place deep within the closet.

Helping Kids Choose Career Paths

Source My 6yr old little man, D1 now wants to be a Doctor, a Chef and a Teacher. Together. D2 is now 4yrs and still wants to be a Doctor . You ever seen anyone with combined honors a la career before? Maybe it's going to start with my boy, D1. Don't. Dare. Laugh. Yet. Remember this post where he wanted to be a Doctor, an Engineer and a Pastor? Now the tides have apparently turned and the Pastor option has been eliminated in less than a year and the Chef option introduced into the equation.  

From The Heart of A Toddler
