Kidnappers of Orekoya 3 kids have demanded a N13 million ransom for their release.
The kids were abducted by their housemaid on April 8, a day after she was hired.
The kids are Ademola (6), Adedamola (4) and Aderomola (11 months).
The housemaid, Mary Akinloye, a 23-year-old indigene of Ibadan, Oyo States, was said to have been hired through OLX, an online trading portal.
The agency, formerly known as Dealfish, deals in buying and selling; it is also a free classified advert website where one can easily post adverts including vacancies for free.
All the family’s efforts to reach the maid had failed until yesterday. The Ikorodu, Lagos address she gave could also not be traced.
Michael alerted their mother to the disappearance of his siblings when the maid did not return with them by 1pm, about five hours after they left home.
Around 9am yesterday, the children’s mother, Mrs Adebisi Orekoya reached the maid’s phone, but heard a male voice that demanded a N13 million ransom.
The Orekoyas begged to speak with their children and the kidnappers promised to get back to them at 10am.
A distraught Mrs Orekoya wondered how the woman she decided to help turned to hurt her.
“I just want to appeal to them to return my children; we do not have that kind of money. I wonder what they are given the 11-month old baby to eat since yesterday,” she said.
Mrs Orekoya, who works in a bank, urged the police to help recover her children.
Mrs Orekoya’s father, Senior Apostle Adegoke Adekunle, appealed to the kidnappers to release his grand children.
He said the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Itire Police Station, Isah Abdulmajid has visited the family, adding: “We hope the security agents will help with their (children) release.”
The Nation saw family members and other well wishers in the sitting room, commiserating with the Orekoyas.
Lagos Police Command spokesman, Kenneth Nwosu, a Deputy Superintendent (DSP), confirmed the ransom demanded by the kidnappers.
He said efforts were on to nail the culprits and rescues the children.
“All hands must be on the deck to rescue the children,” he said.
