The parents of three-year-old Nohim Ishola have been thrown into panic after he disappeared on Sunday in Otto community, in the Ebute-Meta area of Lagos State.
Nohim’s disappearance is coming one year after about seven children went missing in the community.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the abductions stopped after a suspected kidnapper was arrested.
But things took another turn on Sunday when Nohim suddenly disappeared in the Ogundimu area.
It was gathered that the victim and his two siblings were on their way to their grandmother’s house when two people started a fight in the area.
The victim’s father, Rafiu Ishola, told our correspondent that efforts to find his son had been abortive.

He said, “Nohim and his two siblings were going to their grandmother’s house on Sunday when some people suddenly broke a bottle and started a fight around the Ogundimu area. In the commotion that followed, Nohim went missing.
“This is not the first time they will be going to their grandmother’s house; they were just a few metres away from the house when the incident happened. His siblings said when those people broke the bottle, everybody tried to scamper to safety and Nohim released himself from one of his siblings’ grip.
“I don’t know how my child got lost, but I feel they were followed to that area because the fight those people started was unnecessary and immediately they took my boy, everywhere was cleared. When his siblings didn’t see him, they ran to their grandma’s house to tell her.
“Their mother cannot sleep or eat. This has affected her a lot because this is not the first time a child would be missing in the community and would not be found. I just want the police to help us to find him.”
