According to a video post shared by SikaOfficial on October 14, 2025, the unidentified young man was spotted holding a newborn baby.

He reportedly told bystanders that the child was his niece and that he was helping to care for it while the mother attended to an errand.

“The baby is my niece and I'm helping to take care of it while the mother attends to an errand,” the report said.

Despite his explanation, many members of the public appeared unconvinced, fearing the situation could be a possible case of child abduction.

Their agitation, the post added, quickly escalated, with some shouting and demanding that he be handed over the baby to the police for verification.

The young man was eventually escorted by some concerned individuals and onlookers to the nearest police station for further questioning.
