“Upon the information, I started looking for my son only to discover that he was no longer where I left him.

“On the strength of the report, the DPO  of Warewa division, Folake Afeniforo, mobilised a team of policemen to the bus stop where the men were said to be waiting to board a vehicle.

“On getting there, they met the three men with the child and were promptly arrested with the help of members of the public.

Confirming the arrest, the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, disclosed that during interrogation, the three suspects, who claimed to have come from Jigawa State, could not give any reasonable account of why the child was seen with them or why they wanted to board a commercial bus with the child.

The child has been reunited with his parents while the suspects are undergoing interrogation.

Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, Kenneth Ebrimson, has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspects to State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for discreet investigation and possible prosecution.

That is exactly what the stitch in time simply stood for. Promptly address issues posed by Coronavirus. By quickly sewing up of a small hole or tear in a piece of material, so saving the need for more stitching at a later date when the whole ha...
