The Orekoya family on Lawanson Road, Surulere, Lagos
State says, presently, it has no reason to be happy. The reason for this is that a nanny they employed on March 7th has
disappeared with three children ( Aderomola, 11 months, Adedamola 4 years and
Demola, 6 years ) a day after she was employed.
The nanny, Mary Akinloye, 23, an indigene of Ibadan, Oyo State, was said to have been contracted via OLX, an online sales portal.
Adebisi the
children’s mother, explained that the family had a nanny, who suddenly stopped
coming to work after observing her annual leave; and the family subsequently
put up a post on OLX, seeking the service of a new nanny.
“We had someone who was taking care of the
kids before now. But the woman did not show up on Saturday and Sunday and we
urgently needed someone to assist because we were going to resume work on
Monday. We were disturbed and that was why I posted the information on OLX.
“She (Akinloye)
called us and said she was interested. She said she was 23 years. I agreed to
employ her in the interim because I really did not like the fact that she was
young. She agreed to collect between N10, 000 to N15,000 even though our former
nanny collected N25,000.
“I left her at
home this morning (Wednesday) around 7.30am. It was around 1pm that my eldest
son called me and said she had taken his siblings away. He said she told him
they were going out to buy some things. She took the 11 months on her back and
held the others by the hand. She has since not returned.” She said.
Her husband,
Leke, a businessman, said :
“We spoke with
two people she introduced to us as her brother and sister. They confirmed that
they were her relatives.
“They gave us a
vague description of where they lived in Ikorodu. We agreed to do proper
documentation this week.
“It was in less
than 24 hours that she went away with the kids.
“She never gave
us an idea that she was on an evil mission.
“Her spoken
English was fluent. She said she had a National Diploma and just wanted to make
some money so she could return to school.”
