While Zimuzochukwu and Ogechukwu belonged to the same parent, Roseline had a different parent, but they all lived in the same compound.

Mrs Iwuorah Lovina Amauche told Legit.ng after the incident in October 2023:

"They were kidnapped by people who claimed to be co-tenants who parked into our compound on Monday 23rd October. And on the 25th, which was on Wednesday, they left with my children with the notion that they were going to charge their phone at a nearby store."

However, the children have been found alive and intact. Mrs Iwuorah sent a message to Legit.ng saying the kidnapper kidnapped other children, who she sold in Lagos state.

Unknown to her, she was tracked after the second visit and was arrested in Obosi, Anambra state, where she bought a plot of land.

Mrs Iwuorah said:

"Amazing Grace!! God almighty has done it finally for me. My children that were lost have finally been recovered. To Him alone be praised forever. These are my Children who were lost but are now found. May His name alone be praised forever."

When asked how the kidnapper was caught, Mrs Iwuorah disclosed:

"The kidnapper came and stole other children during January and went to Lagos and sold them. So she was tracked and arrested at Obosi Anambra state, where she purchased land."

Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that Chinedu Chukwueke, a baby who got missing in Niger state, was found.

Chinedu was abducted from his mother's hair-dressing salon by a lady who was said to have come there to learn work.
