“I was barren for many years. I’m begging for the sake of God, I’m pleading,” the sad mother begged.
Ijewere tweeted:
“Mother of the kidnapped twins in tears as she appeals to the abductors to please return her kids. This woman waited 12 years before she conceived. Call this number 08035066122 if you can render any assistance on how they can be located.”
