A 25-year-old woman identified as
Mrs. Blessing Emeka Eze who has been going from one church to another claiming
that her 8-year-old daughter was kidnapped and
released after 11 days in
captivity has been arrested.
The Owode, Ogun State-born domestic
servant was caught by members of Four Square Gospel Church, Obawole, Iju
station, a suburb of Lagos State, southwest Nigeria, on Sunday, 7 June, 2015
where she had gone to give false testimony that her 8-yearold daughter who was
kidnapped at Ogba area of Lagos State was found at Mile 2 after 11 days.
She also told the congregation that
precious told her that she was fed with raw food and raw meet which made the
Pastor of the church, Rev. A.S. Adekunle to order that the girl be taken to a
medical centre on Old Akute Road for treatment.
On getting to the hospital, the
8-year-old girl who was wearing pampers was observed by the doctor on duty and
the doctor said nothing was wrong with the girl.
But the mother insisted that
something was wrong with her.
At this point, the doctor prescribed
that she has to be on observation in addition to giving her drip to flush out
any disease she might have contracted.
Again, her mother objected and
demanded that the girl be given only injection.
While the argument was on, two men
came in and identified the woman and the same daughter as the person who gave a
similar testimony the previous Sunday at Christ Apostolic Church in the same
Obawole and the church donated N5,000 for her to take care of the child.
After she was threatened with
arrest, she opened up and said the girl was not kidnapped as she alleged,
adding that she was only using the girl to make ends meet.
She was subsequently handed over to
the police at Iju Police Station, Red House, Iju Ishaga, Lagos State for
further investigation.
