Imagine! Orekoya boys found naked inside a bag...

Orekoya
The kidnapped Orekoya boy’s residence became a camp ground yesterday following their release from their captors.
The children, Demola, 6; Adedamola, 4, and Aderomola, 11 months, were reportedly found in an uncompleted building in Shasha area of Akowonjo, Lagos, Tuesday night, after an undisclosed ransom was paid into an account.

According to their maternal grandfather, Senior Apostle Abraham Adekunle, the children were found naked inside a bag. The children, who had been ravaged by mosquitoes, were immediately taken to police hospital, Ikeja.
According to reports by Vanguard, Mr. Orekoya was seen rocking Aderomola, the youngest child, to sleep with a lullaby: Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream. While Aderomola was on drip, the other two were playing.
The children described the kidnappers’ hideout as their new home, saying Mary cooked the meal they ate.
An arrest has, however, been made. The nanny, 23-year-old Mary Akinloye, has been nabbed last night. The abductors, as gathered, had sent an account number of an undisclosed bank to the Orekoyas.
The Lagos state Police Commissioner, Kayode Aderanti, revealed this but did not say where she was arrested.
Meanwhile, Senior Apostle Abraham Adekunle, the maternal grandfather of the Orekoya boys, claims a ransom was paid for the release of his grandchildren, “For the eight days that the children were taken away, we did not rest. But yesterday (Monday), they called us and said we should send the money to them. They sent their account number to us. Immediately they collected the money, they called us and said they had dropped the children at Egbeda.” he told Punch
Mr. Orekoya simply thanked God, stating that the rescue of his children was an indication that prayers worked, “In one word, I will say that prayer works. We are happy that they are alive and well,“ he said.
