Jeremiah Abasi is a 6 year old who was living in Ihiala , Anambra state with his parents before his aunt, Onyebuchi Chibogu, brought him to Lagos State to continue his education.
Little Jeremiah is missing after reportedly running an errand for his aunt’s neighbour.
His mother, Chika Abasi, revealed he was kidnapped. She said,
“I was in shock. I called my husband at Onitsha, and he asked me to travel down to Lagos to know what exactly happened.It was when I arrived Lagos that I learnt that the man who kidnapped my son was a stranger in their compound; he had taken a snapshot of my son two weeks earlier with his phone, while the boy was half naked.
“I just want them to tell me what has happened to him. It is better for me to know my son is dead than the pain they are making me go through.”
Jeremiah’s brother, Miracle, who was holidaying in Lagos, said “On August 22, around 6pm, I came back from the field where I went to play football.I met my brother at home and I called him to the backyard for us to go and take a bath, but he refused, saying he wanted our aunt to come back before he would do that.
“When I finished, I saw Mr. Ogbonna taking a picture of my brother with his phone. I asked him to also take my picture, but he showed me a photo of my brother he had taken two weeks earlier.He gave me N20 to buy a cigarette for him, but when I came back, I didn’t see my brother again or the man.”
“I tried to explain to the crowd that my brother was with Ogbonna and his girlfriend, but Ogbonna, who suddenly returned with his girlfriend, shouted me down and threatened to beat me” Miracle added.
