According to him, the baby’s mother claimed that about 7:00 a.m. on Saturday, while she and her child were asleep at home, Blessing allegedly took her child and fled.

According to Hundeyin, the infant was found on her in the Agbotikuyo neighbourhood of Agege, where the suspect was eventually located.

He declared that the case was still being investigated.
