The Anambra State Police Command has appealed to members of the public for information that could help rescue a 3-year-old boy, who was allegedly stolen by an unidentified woman in Obosi, Idemili North Local Government Area.
In a statement on Monday by the command’s spokesperson, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, the child, identified as Chimaobi Nwadike was stolen while in the custody of his mother.
The statement read, “The Anambra State Police Command seeks assistance from members of the public, especially residents of Anambra State, regarding a case of child stealing that occurred on 26th September 2025 at Obosi, Idemili North LGA.
“Preliminary information reveals that the victim, Master Chimaobi Nwadike, a 3-year-old boy, was stolen by an unidentified woman while in the custody of his mother.
“The Command is calling on anyone with useful information on the whereabouts of the child or the suspect to kindly report to the nearest Police Station or call the Command’s emergency numbers.”
In related incident last week, the Command has arrested one Okwuchukwu Ezimuo, male, aged 45 years, for allegedly stabbing his relative to death over a family land dispute in Umunocha Village, Awka-Etiti, Idemili South Local Government Area of the state.
The suspect struck the deceased, identified as Joseph Dike, a 65-year-old, on the chest during a quarrel over the land dispute on Monday evening, said the Command.
