On her first day at work, an apprentice identified as Tawa has allegedly kidnapped the one-year-old child of her female boss.
According to reports, the incident occurred in Osunjela, near Ilesa Garage in Osogbo, Osun State.
Reports further revealed that Tawa had been introduced by a family friend, Sodiq, who recommended her as a potential apprentice to learn bag-making. However, on her first day, Tawa allegedly took the baby to an undisclosed location.
While confirming the incident, the spokesperson for the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Osun State, Kehinde Adeleke, said Tawa pretended to be playing with the baby before taking the child away.
