Below is her Facebook post:

A recent report reaching Legit.ng said that she has found the child. In a Facebook post she made on Friday, July 10, she said that people's prayers worked.

The joyous mother said she is on her way to see the child.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that the mother of the children who were kidnapped in Ojoo area of Ibadan, Oyo state, on Sunday, April 26, cried out for help in a new video as she appealed to the abductors of her twins.

In the emotionally laden video, the woman told the kidnappers to consider the number of years she has had to wait before she had the kids.

As she spoke, she kept sobbing as she gestured pleadingly and almost totally broke down in tears. The mother also told the kidnappers that whatever thing they want, her husband will do it.

Towards the end of the video, she said: "Please return my kids, I don't have anybody except God. Consider the labour pains I went through and return them."

Her family's fate, however, changed for good as the abductors who kidnapped the twins released them after eight days of agonising apprehension.
