Authorities have revealed the disturbing moment an English traveler allegedly snatched a crying 4-year-old boy from his mother’s arms at a Miami airport and refused to hand him back over because “God told her to do it”.
On Tuesday morning, 23-year-old Alvina Omisiri Agba approached a mother at a checkpoint at Miami International Airport and asked if she could soothe her crying 4-year-old, according to a Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office report obtained by Fox News Digital.
Agba went on to grab the child, stepped out of line, and walked away from the mother, police said.

The panicked mother then went after Agba, demanding her son back, yet the 23-year-old allegedly replied, “No, this is my child,” deputies said.
Then, Omisiri Agba wrapped her legs and arms around the boy to keep him from escaping her grip and pushed the mother away, the outlet reported.
The mother grabbed the child’s arms while Agba was still holding his legs at one point, and the two wrestled each other, the Miami Herald reported.
A hero witness, later identified as Naylet Montano, managed to grab the kid out of Agba’s arms at the Miami Airport, while the 23-year-old English traveler continued to follow her and yell for her to “give back her child.”
Police added that three men also created a wall between Montano and Agba to prevent the crazed woman from taking the tot again.
Agba fled the scene but was eventually arrested at an airport checkpoint after employees called 911.
Following the arrest, she told police she remembered the mother coming to get the child back, but “did not remember what happened after that,” and only took the kid, “because God told her to do it,” the report said.
Moreover, Agba told cops she had remembered a wall with a rainbow on it and wanted to soothe the child with the image, police said.
