The old woman who was apprehended in Oshodi by a mob on Monday for carrying a dead baby on her back has been released by the Police. The old woman who has been identified as Kuburat Ayinde was interrogated by policemen after they rescued her from a mob who had accused her of kidnapping the dead baby.

The policemen gathered from Ayinde that the child she had strapped on her back was her Grandchild whom she was rushing to the hospital to get medical care. She said the baby belonged to her daughter who is mentally ill.

After she made this revelation, the police detained her to verify her claims.

The command spokesperson, Dolapo Badmos said they were able to verify the woman's claims after the said daughter and other family members showed up at the station to confirm what Ayinde had told the police.

Tragic.
Life and its struggles.

Sorry for your loss ma'am!

Na so naija people for burn her to death.
Oh well, if the police did their jobs well, Nigerians would be happy to hand over crazies to them.
One can not count how many criminals got releases by the police after the people handed them over. Take the accused Rapist "Badoo" as a good example.
A better Naija can not happen if the people are left to fend and protect themselves. A good society is joint effort. God help us

When I saw the story yesterday, I just knew that she was innocent of kidnapping. Thank God the old woman was not killed by the mob. So many innocent people have died through this. Please let's say no to jungle justice.

Don't worry granny. Such is life.

Say no to jungle justice, what if this woman has been lynched

She's extremely luck to be alive today. Nigerians no get chill these days when a crime is mentioned, na to roast humans dey their heads now.
