Woman steals kids in Ebonyi and sells them in Anambra

The woman, Ngozi Blessing Abia, also known as Mercy Francis, has carried out her nefarious activities in Lagos, Ebonyi, Anambra and Edo.

Investigation into her activities began in January 2024 when one Nkwuda Francis reported that the woman, who posed as a member of the National Youth Service Corps, had kidnapped his two young children.

DSP Joshua Ukandu, spokesman of the Command said in a statement on Tuesday in Abakaliki, that the children were later found in Anambra, where she sold them.
