Kidnapped Orekoya Kidnapp3d Kids Have Been Found - It's A Miracle | Must Read

News reaching us has made it known that the three kidnapped Orekoya kids have been found.

Recall that few days ago, news went viral on all social media platforms and even instant messaging services about how three out of the four children of the Orekoya were kidnapped by their nanny, Mary Akinloye, just a night after resuming work as a nanny. Just two days ago also, the parents of the kidnapped kids were said to have lamented about not being able to raise the N13m ransom the nanny and her cohorts were asking for. 

However, just few hours ago, the devastated mother of the kidnapped kids took to her Facebook account to announce that her children have been found! The kids’ mother, Mrs Adekunle Busayo Adekunle Orekoya, confirmed this on her Facebook page. However, there are no word yet on if ransome was paid but the kids were reunited with their parents yesterday April 14th 2015.

Here’s what she wrote on Facebook…

We give God all the Glory. Our Orekoya missing Kids have been found.Thank you so much everyone for ur prayers and moral and Financial support all along. The list is endless, of awesome mothers, sisters, business partners, father’s and even kids too. You’ve been amazing! May God grant all your heart desires too. Much love always.

Her Facebook update has however generated various reactions from some of the people who commented wanting to know how the children were found.  A family source told Punch on Wednesday that they were rescued on Tuesday night. Confirming the incident, the children’s father, Leke, in a telephone chat with our correspondent laughed as he said the children were undergoing medical check up at a clinic.

He said, “Yes, they have been rescued. We are very happy.”

Asked if the N13m ransom was paid or the police did the job, he said the family would like to be silent on that aspect.

Recall that the nanny who kidnapped the children was employed through a popular commerce-inclined website, OLX. The Country Manager of the e-commerce platform of OLX Nigeria, Lola Masha, spoke on behalf of the company saying, ”This is an unfortunate situation and our sympathies go out to the victim and their family.
