Police nab fake pastor, woman after rescuing abducted four-week-old baby

Niger State Police Command arrested a man posing as a pastor and a woman involved in the abduction of a four-week-old baby in Minna. According to the police spokesperson, the suspect, Chidi Johnson, was hired by Zainab Ibrahim to steal a newborn baby following her reported miscarriage. Johnson lured a nursing mother and her baby to an uncompleted building under false pretenses, where he attempted to abduct the child before fleeing with the baby on a motorcycle. The baby was later recovered and reunited with its mother, while both suspects are currently in custody awaiting trial.
