A three-month-old baby has allegedly been stolen by an unknown woman during a church service at St. Theresa’s Church, Anyiin, Logo Local Government Area of Benue State.

It was gathered from sources that the incident took place during the church service, when an unknown woman, who stood at the entrance of the church, approached the mother of the stolen baby, one Mrs. Mbatumun Oseh, and offered to help her hold the baby to avoid being pushed down by other members of the church.

According to our source, Mrs. Owen obliged her and thereafter, the strange woman also offered to sit at the back seat with the baby to avoid distracting members, while the baby’s mother sat in front.

Mrs. Oseh, however, detailed one of her children to sit close to the woman, while the service went on.
