Maimuna Alayi awoke on the night of January 2020 to find her three months old baby missing. She had slept with the baby and four other children at her house in Lafiya in Nasarawa, leaving her door ajar for fresh air because of the unbearable heat in her apartment.
As her cry for help woke her neighbours, they quickly formed search parties for the missing baby that night. In about 30 minutes, they found the baby in an uncompleted building with another baby on the ground.
