While they were playing in the area, a man allegedly lured them into a tricycle and whisked them away.
One of the missing boys’ parents, Awau, told Daily Trust that her sons, Wasiu and Ibrahim, had left home after lunch to play with their peers.
She claimed that one Sunday, the group’s oldest member, told them that a man had taken the two boys away under the guise of buying them.
“The children came back from school around 2pm on Friday. They ate and went out to play. After some time, I saw Sunday and asked him about Wasiu and Al-Ameen’s whereabouts. He said he left them at where they were playing,” the mother narrated.
“After about an hour, Al-Ameen’s mother rushed to me and said she was looking for her son. I told her she should go and look for him and that they would soon come back home. I became worried when I didn’t see Wasiu 30 minutes later.
“Sunday told us that one man asked them to follow him to where he would buy biscuits for them but he declined. A mallam who sells confectionery within our area said he saw both of them enter a tricycle. They are both four years old.”
Al-Ameen’s father, Kazeem, said he knew about the incident around 7pm and after searching around to no avail, he reported the case at the Ijesha Police Station.
“Around 7pm on Friday, his mum was looking for him and I asked her to check his friends’ houses. It was later we knew that a man led them to buy biscuits. We learnt that the mallam sold biscuits to them and they were led into a tricycle. I reported to the police yesterday (Friday) but they said I should report officially after 24 hours.”
Spokesperson of the Lagos State Police Command, CSP Adekunle Ajisebutu, said a search party had been organised to look for the missing boys.
