The suspected child thief who allegedly pretended to be deaf and dumb, was said to have dressed himself like a woman and wore a weavon attachment.
Eyewitnesses in the market said the suspect had already strapped the baby on his back and escaped to one of the bus terminals in the area, where he was eventually found by a search team made up of traders.
The bubble however burst on him when the angry mob descended on him and the weavon on his head dropped off, exposing his real identity.
One of the eyewitnesses who gave her name simply as Evelyn and claimed to be a neighbour to the mother of the victim at the market, said the suspect lured the little boy with biscuit when his mother was attending to customers.
