A Nigerian woman has been caught after breaking into a house at 4 a.m. and attempting to steal a baby while the child’s mother was asleep. The shocking incident, which has since gone viral, has sparked widespread reactions online, with many expressing disbelief at the boldness of the act.
According to reports, the incident took place in a residential neighborhood where the family had been staying peacefully. The woman, whose identity has not yet been disclosed, allegedly entered the house through an unknown access point before heading straight to the child’s room. Investigations are still ongoing to determine whether she had prior knowledge of the house’s layout or if it was a random act.
The incident was first shared on a popular social media platform, TikTok, where it was revealed that the woman had already picked up the baby before the mother woke up and intervened just in time. The mother’s quick reaction prevented what could have been a tragic situation. Many social media users have since been discussing the sheer bravery and presence of mind displayed by the mother in saving her child from potential harm.
Narrating the event, the father of the child explained in the post: “My wife was sleeping with our daughter when the woman tried to take her. As soon as she lifted the baby, my wife woke up and quickly pulled her back.” He further stated that his wife initially thought she was dreaming until she saw the woman standing in the room, still holding onto their baby. The mother then raised an alarm, waking up other family members and neighbors, who rushed to the scene to confront the suspect.
The video footage also captured the woman attempting to explain herself as onlookers confronted her. While she appeared to deny any malicious intent, many online users speculated that the act was premeditated. Some suggested that she might have been working with an unknown group involved in child trafficking, while others debated whether she could have been under spiritual influence. The suspect’s incoherent responses in the video only added to the mystery surrounding the case.
Social media users have since taken to the comment section to share their thoughts on the unsettling incident, raising questions about how the woman managed to enter the house undetected and why she attempted to steal the baby. Many are calling for a thorough investigation, with some urging parents to be extra vigilant, especially at night, to prevent similar occurrences.

Debbie💥🌺: “This is not ordinary. I feel she doesn’t know anything about it. Some real witches use people, call their spirits into a house pet, and use them for their evil mission. May God not allow the devil to use us.”
Ehisumen: “My question is, how did she enter your compound, and how did she enter your apartment till she got to the kid’s room? You no dey lock door sleep? Even if we stay in the same compound…”

Many people are now urging law enforcement agencies to step in and conduct a thorough investigation into the matter. Some speculate that the woman may have been working with an accomplice who let her into the house. Others suggest that she could be suffering from mental health issues and require psychiatric evaluation.
Meanwhile, the child’s parents are still in shock over the near-tragic event. In an emotional statement, the mother said: “I don’t even want to think about what could have happened if I didn’t wake up at that moment. We thank God that my baby is safe.” She has since urged fellow parents to be extra cautious, emphasizing the importance of securing their homes properly at night.
