A six-month-old baby, Chinedu Chukwueke, who was kidnapped from his mother’s shop on Monday at the Kure market in Minna by a yet-to-be-identified woman has been found at a refuse dump close to the Gauraka Police Station, Minna in Niger State.

The father of the child, Chuks, announced the baby’s kidnap via his official Twitter handle, @talk2chuks01 on Monday.

“My baby boy Chinedu Chukwueke of 6 months old was taken from my wife’s shop today Sunday at Kure Market Minna. She came in the guise of wanting to learn work in my wife’s saloon and took the baby.”

The Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, who commented on the matter, urged Chuks to report the matter at the nearest police station.

“So sad. You can get to me and your PPRO for private talks since many things are better handled privately, not on social media,” Adejobi had tweeted.

However, while updating the public on Wednesday afternoon, Chuks noted that his baby was found at a dumpsite close to a police station.

“Baby has been found. He was dumped at a refuse dump close to Gauraka Police Station. Baby is in good health,” he said.

Nigeria international goalkeeper Comfort Erhabor has joined Crystal Palace Women on a two-year deal ahead of the 2026/27 Women’s Super League season.   The 21-year-old goalkeeper completed her move from Portsmouth, where she made six appearances across all competitions after joining the club in July 2025. Crystal Palace announced the signing on Thursday, welcoming Erhabor as the latest addition to their squad. Erhabor said she was excited about the move and viewed it as an important step in her career. “It feels really good to be here. I’m very excited to get started.” Palace manager Jo Potter also welcomed the Nigerian international, describing her as a promising young goalkeeper. Erhabor began her football career at the Brighton & Hove Albion Academy before gaining experience on loan at Hibernian and Plymouth Argyle. Born in the Netherlands and raised in England, she chose to represent Nigeria internationally. She made her Super Falcons debut in February 2026 during a friendly against Cameroon. She was subsequently included in Nigeria’s squad for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations. However, she did not feature during the tournament as the Super Falcons were eliminated by eventual champions Cameroon in the quarter-finals. Her move to Crystal Palace follows another recent transfer involving a Super Falcons player in England.
