The guy pictured above named john is
the unemployed youth which is currently on the run after doing wrong. John was
reportedly to have kidnapped his neigbour’s 10 month kid.
The man left a couple – Abdulrahman
Balogun and his wife, Bunmi – in sorrow after he allegedly abducted their
10-month-old boy.
David and the couple live in Okokwu
community, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
According to Punch Metro, David had
pretended to be playing with the kid, Richards, on their premises last Sunday
around 7pm and eventually fled with him.
It was gathered that Abdulrahman and
Richards were set to leave for a church service that day, and Abdulrahman were
waiting outside for Bunmi to dress up.
Abdulrahman, who spoke to Punch
Metro on the telephone on Monday, said he had gone inside to hasten up his wife
as they were running late for the service.
“David came to play with him. I went
inside to call my wife because we were almost late for the church programme.
When I came outside, I could not find David and my son in the compound.
“We searched for them everywhere on
the premises, but we couldn’t find them. I called his phone number and it
indicated that it was switched off. He started living here five months ago,” he said.
The father, a teacher, explained
that he subsequently reported the incident at the Mile 3 Police Station, adding
that he discovered that he abductor had been bearing a fake name in the
neighbourhood after he ran a check on his profile on Facebook.
“His name on Facebook is John Elvis
David but we know him as Davies. He moved to this area five months ago. His
three friends who lived with him have been arrested by the police.
“A woman called me yesterday
(Sunday). She said she and David boarded the same bus in Warri around 4pm and
that she saw him with my son. She said she was surfing the Internet after she
arrived home when she read the post on Richard’s abduction on social media. She
said she would have raised the alarm if she had read the post while she was on
the bus.
“We got married October 2015. That
is our first and only child. We are appealing to the public to assist in
tracking down the abductor,” he
added.
Richard’s mother, Bunmi, said, she
was caught unawares by the incident as David was very generous to her son and
looked innocuous.
She said, “I never had a
cause to be suspicious of him (David). He was friendly with my son. They go out
together and he buys things for him. So, I didn’t know he was this wicked.”
The Police Public Relations Officer
in Rivers State, DSP Omoni Nnamdi, promised to get back to reporters, but had
yet to do so.
