An attempt to snatch a four-month-old baby has been foiled by the police in Nnewi.
Confirming the arrest of the suspect, the spokesperson of Anambra State Police Command, CSP Haruna Mohammed, said about 9:30pm on February 28, 2021, there was a distress call at Okpunoeze Uruagu, Nnewi that a man under false pretence of being an okada rider, who was later identified as Ikevhukwu Odoh ‘m’, 25, of Ehamifu in Isuzo Local Government Area of Enugu State allegedly went into a compound at same address and attempted to snatch a four months old baby named Success Odeh ‘f’ from her mother.
