The Lagos State Police Command on Thursday reunited Miss Henrietta
Otobo, a 17-year-old kidnap victim with her family, Mr and Mrs Otobo,
after six months in custody of her abductors.
According to NAN, the victim was reported missing on November 13, 2014.
She was declared missing after her parents who live in Delta state could not find her when they got home around 4:00 p.m. on the fateful day.
Miss Otobo, was rescued from the same nanny, Funmilayo Adeyemi, who kidnapped the Orekoya kids while using a fake name, Mary Akinloye and her husband, Kazeem Adeyemi.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr Kenneth Nwosu, said that it was the rescue of the Orekoya kids that led to the discovery of Miss Henrietta Otobo whom had also been kidnapped by the same nanny.
The victim, Miss Otobo, told journalists that she had no idea she was kidnapped.
She said she came in contact with the nanny through OLX, an online platform while in search of an acting career.
She said that she left home because she wanted to be an actress and scared that her dad won’t let her.
“I don’t want to depend on anyone. I wanted to be an actress and I was scared that my dad would not allow me,” she said.
She added that though the kidnappers showed her love but promised never to leave home again.
“I felt bad when I heard that my dad was sick when I left home. I promise never to leave home again except I am going to school,” she said.
Mr Anthony Otobo, the victim’s dad also said that Miss Otobo never lacked love when she was at home.
“We have searched everywhere for her until April 17 when I read about her rescue in the newspaper.
“I reported to the police who then accompanied me to Lagos where I met my daughter,” he said.
Otobo added that her daughter had told him she wanted to be an actress and he didn’t understand why she had to leave home.
He said that the girl would be taken to their pastor for deliverance and that enough measures would be put in place to monitor her online activities.
Mrs Rosemary Otobo, the victim’s mother also said that she had been down since her daughter left home but kept praying for her safe return.
“We didn’t know where to look for her after searching everywhere but I keep praying to God that she comes back home safely,” she said.
