Our neighbour said he could use anybody for ritual –Father

By Lawrence Enyoghasu

ABULEADO, a sleepy commu­nity in Amuwo Odofin area of La­gos State has been hit by uneasy calm since the disappearance of a two-year-old girl, Chinaza Agwa from her parents’ bedside on March 6. Since then, her parents, community leaders and other resi­dents have been in agony .

Saturday Sun gathered that be­fore her disappearance, Chinaza was a cheerful and happy girl. She could play with anybody as long as she had seen the face before. She is the last child of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth and Chinyere Agwa whose 14-year old marriage has yielded four children namely; Emeka, 13, Chioma 9, Obinna, 7 and Chinaza, 2.

Recounting how Chinaza disap­peared, the mother, Mrs. Chinyere said that the last time she saw her daughter was around 1am on the fateful March 6, adding that Chin­aza was wearing a red trouser and a top.

“The last time I saw my last daughter was on 6th of March, around 1am. I had just fed her with tea and bread. She was wearing red trousers with a shirt. The only thing she could say was to call mummy, daddy and brother. She is a girl that when you go close to her, you would not regret it. She plays with everybody,” she said.

After feeding her daughter, Chinyere went to bed and slept off. It was not until 4am when she woke up to check on her daughter that she noticed her disappearance from her side.

“It was around 4am when I woke up from sleep but I did not see my daughter. I woke my hus­band up and he told me to check her in the other room where her brothers and sister laid. I did as my husband told me, but I did not see her. I continued to search for her. I went outside the room to search for her, yet I didn’t see her”.

Chinyere did not limit her search for Chinaza to the rooms. Im­mediately, she decided to call the at­tention of her neighbours to her pre­dicament. As she was stepping out of her shanty of a house; built with woods and covered with polythene, she noticed something strange, the front door of her makeshift apart­ment, was widely opened. It was an unusual scenario. “I began to shout. I woke all my neighbours. I urged them to help me check if my daugh­ter walked into their houses. But I discovered my front door was opened. I hardly leave the front door opened. I was the one who closed the compound gate and our door that night. I could not have left the door opened,” she wondered.

While her neighbours were wail­ing, Chinyere noticed that the gate to the compound was also tam­pered with. “The gate was forceful­ly opened. Our neighbours passed underneath the gate. Some of my neighbours came home around 1 am. Underneath the gate there is a large hole there that one can pass through into the compound,” she disclosed.

Shedding light on the matter was Chinaza’s father, Kenneth Agwa, who said his daughter’s disappear­ance was like abduction by an in-house friend.

He alleged that their door was opened when they woke up, dis­closing that his door can be opened from outside, even when locked from within.

“They could enter my apartment through the main door. Anybody close to me in the compound knows how to open it. You can stretch your hand over the door and unhook the door. When we lost our key there is a place I cut the door. All the boys in the compound come to my house to charge their phones, therefore, they know how to unlock the door. That day, they used the same method to steal the baby away,” he narrated.

Kenneth said that they searched for Chinaza till daybreak. Thereaf­ter, she took h search to the streets, close by bushes and neighbouring communities.

“When we didn’t see our child at dawn, we started to look for her everywhere. We even went to bushes to search for her. We went to neighbouring communities also. We also went to the barracks on our way back, we saw estate landlords who have joined the search. They group themselves and searched with us. They also searched inside the forest. It was in the night that DPO Trade Fair Police arrived with patrol van, it was then he said that we must come to the police to make proper statement,” he stated.

Neighbours as suspects

The houses in the compound were built in a semi-circular style, with each house fused to the other. As such, it is possible to hear discus­sions in the next apartment. Ken­neth who is also the caretaker of the compound said that before his daughter’s disappearance, there has been relative peace in the house. He said that in the last five years he has resided in the compound, there has not been a case of theft or anything related. To him, the only problem in the compound has been one of his co-tenants, simply known as Chinonso.

“Before the disappearance of my daughter, there has not been any case of missing cloth or theft situation. I have been living in the house for five years. I am the care­taker of the house. I have been safe there, but since all these area boys started bringing different people there, things have not been the same. Now, there is no peace, they fight and quarrel all the time. I have time s without number, told them to evict the boys they brought to the house,” he stated.

Saturday Sun gathered that two of Kenneth’s neighbours are cur­rently in police custody. One of the suspects, Chinonso was arrested for making an ambitious statement. It was gathered that Chinonso had boasted, in Kenneth’s presence, that he would make money, by hook or by crook. Kenneth alleged that Chinaza was very close to Chi­nonso.

“Towards the beginning of last year, Chinonso said that he would make money by all means; that if his wish does not come to past that year that he can use anybody or anything to have riches. Since he made that comment, his ways have not been straight, he has become more notorious than ever. He fights and quarrels with everybody. He has threatened virtually everybody in the compound. He even said that he was going to kill one of our neighbours. The most painful part of this is that he is very nice to my children. He would take Chinaza away and get her things and return in peace. Sometimes he would play with all of them together. He is not someone that will carry my baby and she would start to cry. My baby plays and eats in his house. My baby loves the boy. She likes him to feed her. He has lived a year and some months with us,” he stated.

The second suspect in custody is Onyeka. While Chinonso is a co-tenant, Onyeka lives in the next compound. Onyeka was arrested because his shoe was seen in the compound on the day of Chinaza’s disappearance.When Kenneth fi­nally found him, after abandoning his house, Onyeka denied owning the brown shoe.

“He lives at the back of my house. When you were coming, if you had noticed, there was a bush, in that bush, he is building a shanty. A day before my daugh­ter disappeared, Onyeka lodged a complaint to my wife about our neighbours’ throwing dirt into his compound. I went out and told him that I would take care of it. That very day, he was wearing a brown shoe with jeans knickers. When we woke in the morning and were looking for our baby, we saw a brown shoe. We traced the owner up to the area boys who identified that the shoe belonged to Onyeka. They said that it belonged to Ofuo­la meaning ‘I am missing’ which is another nickname Onyeka has. I looked for him for more than a week. A boy I see everywhere be­fore the disappearance of my baby. It was by the grace of the area boys that the police arrested him. He had been in hiding after the incident happened. When we got to the po­lice, he denied owning the shoe but the police asked him to wear it, low and behold it sized him,” he stated.

Kenneth is pleading with the two suspects or whoever is with his child to release her and save the two boys in custody. “If I see my baby, they can be released,” he stated.

When Chinyere was asked how she has been holding up, she said she is still expecting her baby to walk into the house through the front door. It is the same hope she is giving her other children who have continued to ask her about their sis­ter. “I have been telling them that they should be calm that their sister would return. They know that their sister is missing,” she stated.
