“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.
