A Nigerian born UK woman identified as Alvina Omisri Agba caused a major stir at the Miami International Airport when she allegedly grabbed a 4-year-old boy from his mother and refused to hand him back.
The mother of the child identified as Nadine Joseph was trying comfort her crying child as they tried to board a flight around 4.am Tuesday, when Omisri Agba, 23, offered to help. But she started sprinting away with child, prompting the mother to go after her.
Agba based in Luton, England refused to let go of the child. According to police report, Joseph demanded Agba give her back her son – to which she replied, ‘No, this is my child.’
The suspect then wrapped her arms and legs around the child, so that the young boy couldn’t escape, and when Joseph ten tried to grab her child, Agba allegedly pushed her away.
Yet Joseph was still able to grab her son’s arms as police say Agba held onto his legs, and the two were trying to wrestle over the child.
The commotion caused the young boy to scream out, which caught the attention of Natylet Montano, who was working at the check-in counter for Global Crossing Airlines.
Montano then sprang into action and grabbed the child so that he would not be hurt and held the young boy behind the counter.
Deputies also explained that Agba crawled underneath the counter and demanded that Montano hand over the child, but three men intervened and blocked her path.
The suspect then allegedly ran away, but deputies were able to catch up with her and take her into custody.
When they then read her her rights, Agba allegedly told officers she was simply taking the child to a wall painted with a rainbow, hoping that would calm him down.
She also allegedly claimed she did not remember what happened when the boy’s mother came to retrieve her son from her but said she ‘only did it because God told her to do it.’
The young boy sustained deep scratches to his neck but was ultimately well enough to make his flight with his mother.
Yet authorities say she was not under the influence or drugs or alcohol at the time, according to Fox News.
Agba is now charged with interfering with custody and battery and is being held at the Turner Guilford Correctional Center on a $3,500 bond.
