Missing! 2-year-old girl mysteriously disappears from parents’ bedside (photo)
A 2-year-old girl, Chinaza Agwa, mysteriously disappeared from her parents’ bedside in their residence. It happened on March 6, in the Amuwo Odofin area of Lagos State. Parents are still waiting for their missing daughter!
Chinaza is the last parents’ child, whose 14-year-old marriage has brought four children Emeka, 13, Chioma 9, Obinna, 7, and Chinaza, 2.
The mother, Mrs. Chinyere, says: “The last time I saw my last daughter was on the 6th of March, around 1am. I had just fed her with tea and bread. She was wearing red trousers with a shirt. The only thing she could say was to call mummy, daddy, and brother. She is a girl that when you go close to her, you would not regret it. She plays with everybody.”
After feeding her daughter, Chinyere went to bed and slept off. She woke up at 4am and noticed daughter’s disappearance from her side.
“It was around 4am when I woke up from sleep but I did not see my daughter. I woke my husband up and he told me to check her in the other room where her brothers and sister laid. I did as my husband told me, but I did not see her. I continued to search for her. I went outside the room to search for her, yet I didn’t see her”, Mrs. Chinyere comments.
Immediately frightened mom decided to call the attention of her neighbors to her predicament.
“I began to shout. I woke all my neighbors. I urged them to help me check if my daughter walked into their houses. But I discovered my front door was opened. I hardly leave the front door opened. I was the one who closed the compound gate and our door that night. I could not have left the door opened,” she says.
Chinyere noticed that the gate to the compound was also tampered with. “The gate was forcefully opened. Our neighbors passed underneath the gate. Some of my neighbors came home around 1 am. Underneath the gate there is a large hole there that one can pass through into the compound,” she adds.
Chinaza’s father, Kenneth Agwa, said this disappearance was like abduction by an in-house friend. Their door was also opened when they woke up, disclosing that this door can be opened from outside, even when locked from within.
“They could enter my apartment through the main door. Anybody close to me in the compound knows how to open it. You can stretch your hand over the door and unhook the door. When we lost our key there is a place I cut the door. All the boys in the compound come to my house to charge their phones, therefore, they know how to unlock the door. That day, they used the same method to steal the baby away,” he narrated.
People searched for Chinaza everywhere. They even went to the forest, the neighboring communities and the barracks. Also, parents went to the Police and made a proper statement.
Two of Kenneth’s neighbors are currently in police custody. One of the suspects, Chinonso, was arrested for making an ambitious statement. He had boasted, in Kenneth’s presence, that he would make money, by hook or by crook. Kenneth alleged that Chinaza was very close to Chinonso.
The second suspect in custody is Onyeka. He was arrested because his shoe was seen in the compound on the day of Chinaza’s disappearance.
Kenneth is pleading with the two suspects or whoever is with his child to release her.
Chinyere is still expecting her baby to walk into the house through the front door. It is the same hope she is giving her other children. “I have been telling them that they should be calm that their sister would return,” she states.
