It was during this period when the astute members discovered that, besides the four- months-old girl, there was a baby boy who is believed to be three-years- old and it is suspected that the child was also abducted at Marble Hall in April 2023. As if that was not enough, another baby girl believed to be eight-months-old was found as well during the arrest of the two.
