Woman Steals 4Mnt Old Baby During Sunday Service In Abuja


Police Prosecutor, Simon Emmanuel, told an
Abuja Chief Magistrates' Court on Friday how
a 20-year-old woman, Juli Markus, stole the
four-month-old baby during Sunday Service.
The baby's father, Obadiah Idi, of the Kado
area of Federal Capital Territory, reported the
matter at the Life Camp Police Station on June
30.While they were attending a Sunday church
service in Kado, Juli Markus deceived his 11-
year-old daughter, Rebecca, who was holding
the baby, and collected the baby from her.
Emmanuel said the convict escaped with the
baby to an unknown destination, but was
found and arrested by the police. He said that
during interrogation, the convict confessed to
committing the crime, saying that she took the
baby to Auta Balefi Town in Nasarawa State
where she sold him to one Christiana Zaka.Mr.
Emmanuel said that Ms. Zaka, the convict's
accomplice, was later arrested and the baby,
named Daniel, recovered from her.
The Abuja Chief Magistrates' Court thus
sentenced Juli Markus to five years
imprisonment without an option of fine. The
Chief Magistrate, Fati Tafida, said that the
convict is guilty as charged.
Her accomplice, 43-yrs old Ms. Zaka is now
standing trial on a one count charge of
receiving a stolen child.
