Punch News confirmed this in a report where the woman was captured lamenting about a poor upbringing which has prompted her to make bad choices.

“My father did not consider it necessary to train me to be responsible, otherwise, why should I involve myself in this wicked act? Why should I even kidnap my neighbour’s child who always played with my children? It’s unfortunate.

"Allah and my neighbours will forgive me for what I did to this little girl; in fact, I don’t deserve to be alive to face this shame," says Safiya Idris in a report by Punch.
