The Kemebigha Kadi family of Igbogene community of Yenagoa Bayelsa state are still in shock following the disappearance of their two children on June 19, 2023.

Nearly three weeks after, the children, 4year old Success (Kadi) and her 2year old brother Prince (Sodomowei) Kemebigha are yet to be found.

Speaking to Nationwide Reports in an exclusive interview today, Wednesday, July 5, Mr. Frank Kimibia, a brother to the father of the two children said the family has been totally devastated by the unfortunate incident which has also distorted the family’s foundation.

He narrated how the incident happened, saying that a young man newly rented an apartment in the compound where his brother and his family live. The new tenant gave his name as Christian Powder, from Imo State.

The new tenant had told neighbours that he would soon be joined in the apartment by his sister.

According to him, it was the sister of the new tenant that took the children away while their mother Faith went to church. He said his brother and father of the children was not at home when the incident happened.

According to Frank, his brother’s wife and mother of the children has a sister who lives with them.

On that faithful day, he said, the children were not feeling fine. Their mother left them in the care of her sister and went to church, when the sister of the new tenant who had arrived just a few days earlier, volunteered to take the children out in order to buy them drugs for them at a pharmacy.

The woman’s sister had allowed the new girl to take the children away but she did not bring the children back on time which raised the sister’s curiosity.

After waiting for long, the sister of the children’s mother went out to look for them and to take the children back home, only to discover that the new girl has vanished with them.

Alarm was raised and a search party went to town to get the children back to no avail.

He said the matter has since been reported at the Igbogene Police station but no result has been found adding that they have resorted to all manner of prayers for God’s intervention in rescuing the child.

Nationwide Reports asked Mr. Frank why the mother of the children and her sister would be that free to embrace a tenant who has just moved into the compound and his sister and to entrust the children into the strange girl’s care, as well as to take the children away to buy drugs.

Mr. Frank said he has no comment on that, adding that all they care about now is the return of the children.

Asked about the new tenant, Christian Powder who is the brother of the kidnapper sister, he said it was discovered that the new tenant even left the compound with his belongings earlier before the sister took the children away and that checks revealed that he gave them fake name and fake address including state of origin, adding that the young man has disappeared into thin air.
