Na wa o! This woman steals children from her boss and turns them to beggars... photos

Middle-aged Fulani woman simply identified as Asmau (middle) has been arrested for stealing two children of the woman she was working for in Ogere, Ogun state and taking them to Ikorodu in Lagos state where she turned them to street beggars.

According to a report by Vanguard, Asmau who served as a housemaid to the mother of the two children, worked for four months before kidnapping the children Amina, 6 and Rukayya, 7.

Narrating how it all happened, mother of the children simply identified as Hawau, said Asmau had been living with her and assisting her with some domestic chores while being paid N400 or N500 daily. According to her, during the Sallah holiday in July, she had planned to send her daughters to their grandparents in Lagos for holiday and had invited her brother to come down to Ogun state to take her children to Lagos.
“My brother came to pick them (Amina and Rukayya) but did not meet me and my children at home on Sallah day because we had gone to the Eid ground to pray. He did not wait for me as he left for Lagos. When my children knew that he had come and gone they started crying. Asmau used the opportunity and told me she was going to Lagos that day and that she will help me to take them to their grandparents, so, I agreed and asked the children to go with her. After two days, I found out that the children were not at their grandparents’ house, I called the woman but her number was not connecting. I checked her at her house, I did not find her and my children. I started to go round to check out till I spent all what I had and yet I did not find them. I then reported to the Sarkin Hausawa of Ogere Alhaji Abdullahi Saminaka, who organised a prayer and informed the people. Luckily for me, a woman came to the palace and told the Sarkin that she saw Asmau with my children begging in Ikorodu in Lagos state. So, he (Sarkin) sent his men to go and bring them; one of them, called Ali told us that he found the children with the woman begging for alms in tattered clothes. We were also told that the woman removed their new sallah clothes and gave it to one woman, who was a food vendor, in exchange for food. The children told us that the woman used to beat them if they cried or refused to go and beg for alms. She told people, while they went begging for alms that she is their mother.”
Asmau is presently in police custody.
