17-year-old Cynthia Shamang was arrested, on Wednesday, in Kaduna for absconding with Amarachi, the one-year-old baby of her employer, Mrs. Kachi Mbagwu, in Abuja.
She fled with Amarachi on December 10, 2016 after her boss went for the annual Shiloh service at the Living Faith Church, Dutse Alhaji, Kubwa and abandoned her at a deserted garden in Kaduna.
The baby was said to have cried throughout the night and a security guard around the area rescued her the next morning. It was learnt that the guard was afraid to rescue Amarachi that night because the garden was known to be infested with snakes and other dangerous animals.
Mrs. Mbagwu stated that Cynthia had barely spent three days with her when she absconded with her daughter. “We circulated the incident on WhatsApp and other social media platforms asking people to assist in finding the girl.
We later learnt that a security guard who heard my baby’s cries at a deserted garden rescued her the next morning and took her to the NTA station in Kaduna which broadcast it," Mbagwu said.
Asked the reason Cynthia gave for her action, she said, “The maid said she didn’t want to work as a maid anymore and that she went away with my child because she didn’t want to leave the girl alone in the house.”
