Two women were apprehended by residents in Rukpokwu, Port Harcourt, for allegedly attempting to kidnap an Eight-month-old baby.

According to the child’s mother, she left the baby with her two sons while she went out to buy food.

While she was away, her eldest son came to inform her that two unfamiliar women had entered their room. Thinking the child was joking, she initially paid little attention to the report but later decided to return home.

On returning home, the mother discovered that her baby was missing. She immediately raised an alarm, and a resident reportedly informed her that two women had been seen carrying a baby towards a motorcycle.

Community members quickly mobilised and intercepted the suspects before they could leave with the child. The baby was rescued safely, while the two women were apprehended.
