The management of a primary school in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, has arrested a man posing as a parent while trying to pick up a child from the school.
In a viral social media video, a member of the school’s staff narrated how the man arrived at the unidentified learning facility and requested to see a non-existing teacher.
The member of staff said he got suspicious of him when he started mentioning names and was incoherent with his responses. The suspect was also said to have authoritatively demanded to take a set of siblings home, claiming to be their father.

The man, suspected to be a kidnapper, was asked to prove his connection with the said children, but he couldn’t and rather became infuriated and threatened to withdraw the said children from the school.
The video showed that members of staff of the school had surrounded the man to prevent him from leaving until the real father of the children arrived at the scene.
The ostensibly surprised parent demanded that the suspect explained the reason for his action.
The suspect, however could not say in clear terms his reasons and intents. He was later handcuffed by a security personnel on mufti attire and was whisked away.
