The incident unfolded during the celebration of the baby’s birth. On that fateful day, while festivities were ongoing, Lawrence seized the opportunity and absconded with the newborn.
The distressing crime came to light after the child’s mother noticed the baby’s disappearance and immediately reported the incident to the authorities.
The Abia State Police Special Weapons and Tactics Team, Aba, acted swiftly upon receiving credible information, leading to the arrest of Adaeze Lawrence at her hideout. She was found in possession of the one-month-old baby boy.
The police’s investigation revealed that the suspect and the baby’s mother’s elder sister were once schoolmates, providing Lawrence with the means to manipulate her way into the victim’s life.
Despite initial denials, medical examinations conducted at the police clinic contradicted Lawrence’s claims, ultimately forcing her to confess to the crime. The baby’s biological mother positively identified her child, confirming the abduction that took place on August 6, 2023.
