A girl known as Amarachi who was reported missing on Thursday, April 17, 2014 has been found in a one-room apartment at Olufowobi Street, Ikosi Ketu belonging to Gbuchenge Augustine, a mobile policeman with Force number 400823 in Lagos.
The girl’s father,who works with Strands Communications Limited as a driver told journalists that on his return from work, he noticed something was amiss as his daughter who usually comes out to greet him was nowhere to be found and when he asked his wife on her whereabouts, he was told that she was asleep.
“I demanded to see her and when they went to call her, she was nowhere to be found. Another little child in the compound later said she saw “Oga Olopa” (the policeman) carrying Amarachi in his arms from their room where she was sleeping, to his room. You know, as a child, nobody took her seriously but the child insisted that Amarachi was in the policeman’s room,” he said
The policeman who was confronted by neighbours denied all allegations and used the opportunity of the ensuing confusion, to escape from the crowd that had gathered in their residence, and had not returned till date.
When she was eventually rescued by neighbours, little Amarachi who had injuries on her skull and neck was rushed to the Hospital . The suspect had twisted her neck and used an object to break her skull hoping to kill her in the process.
Investigation is still going on by the Police to trace the whereabouts of the escaped suspect.
