A dog meat seller named Erica has disappeared with his neighbor’s six-month-old baby boy in Port Harcourt, Rivers State......See Full Story>>.....See Full Story>>
The incident occurred last Sunday at Aneke Lane, Mile 2 Diobu, in the Port Harcourt City Local Government Area.
Erica, who is in his mid-30s and from Akwa Ibom State, had only been living in the compound for two months, where he also sold dog meat outside his residence.
He is now missing with the baby.
The baby’s mother, Hope Sunday, explained that on Monday, Erica offered to help her by holding her son, Lucky, while she washed clothes.
She trusted him since he often liked to hold her baby. Hope said, “He (Erica) came and said I should give him my baby to help me so that I can spread the clothes. I gave the baby to him. Why I gave out my baby is that he likes to carry my baby always.”
However, after briefly stepping away to attend to her other children, Hope returned and found both Erica and her baby gone.
She asked nearby neighbors, who said Erica hadn’t gone far, but after searching a nearby lotto office where he supposedly went to charge his phone, he was nowhere to be found.
Hope has since reported the incident to the police at Azikiwe Police Division in Port Harcourt, but the authorities have yet to release an official statement.
