Having successfully taking the children out of the reach of their parents, they were delivered to one Madam Lydia of Rhumde-Baru neighbourhood at the Jambutu satellite town in Yola.
“Saidolo took their children, six of them in number, promising to enroll them in a missionary school in Yola, but since then they could not set eyes on any of them,” one of the parents, Mr Markus Anthony, said:
“We couldn’t hear from our kids and they could not come home for any holiday, not even during Christmas,” Anthony lamented.
Suspecting a foul play, Anthony and five other parents, reported the matter to the police.
Upon his arrest, Saidolo confessed to have sold off the children to Madam Lydia but failed to disclose the agreed price when asked.
According to him, “I actually delivered eight children to Madam Lydia, among them two of my own children.”
