Baby Disappears During Naming Ceremony In Ogun State

Anxiety and confusion enveloped the
rustic Inuosegba community in
Abeokuta as residents discovered
items suspected to be severed human
wrist, school pupils’ bags and
uniforms in a locked building while
searching for a missing 18 months old
baby.
The 18 months baby identified as
Hezekiah Opeyemi Ogundele was
taken to a naming ceremony at
Inuosegba community around 4pm on
Sunday by his brother but while the
ceremony was to commence, the baby
was discovered to have disappeared
mysteriously.
The Nation gathered that the naming
ceremony was put on hold
indefinitely while apprehensive guests
and residents began to comb
surrounding bushes and home,
searching for the baby.
The mother of the baby, 26 years old
Fashion designer, Elizabeth Ogundele,
said her elder sister gave birth and
was preparing to the naming when it
was discovered that her son had
disappeared.
In the course of the search, they
discovered that a building near the
venue of naming, severed wrist and
school children’s items were found in
a suspicious building within the
neighbourhood, forcing the residents
to place the property under
surveilance as there was no one inside
at the time.
The Nation gathered that later in the
day, a commercial motorcycle
operator visited the building in the
wee hour and was arrested and
handed over to the Police at the
Lafenwa Divisional Police
Headquarters, Abeokuta.

believed to be owned by one Chief

bent on bringing down the building.
