Three school children of same parents, have again be stolen by a commercial motorcyclist paid to convey them home after school.
The bizarre incident took place at Amaoba Ime Oboro Community in Ikwuano Local Government Area, according to a viral post circulating in the social media.
Mr Okechukwu, a man whose contact is in the post, identified himself as a brother of the father of the missing children told Ikengaonline that the incident occured on Friday.
According to him, the devil-may-care cyclist was innocently engaged by the grandmother of the children after they stopped over in her house on their way from school.
He said that the whereabouts of both the cyclist and the kids is still unknown since then.
Recall that in November 2023, all four siblings also disappeared when a tricycle operator conveying them to school absconded with them.
Every efforts to locate them since then has yielded no fruit.
