The police in Niger State have found two children abducted from Suleja, Niger State, in Lugbe, Abuja, five months after they were declared missing.
In an earlier report last October how the two children, Abdullahi Umar (five) and his younger sister, Rahama (three), were abducted by a couple who parked into their compound as co-tenants.
It was gathered that the two children were rescued last week from a woman named Chinwe Egwu following an operation by the anti-kidnapping unit of the police command.
An uncle to the two children, Aminu Adamu, said their abductors had already changed their names to Joshua and Deborah, as well as taught them to forget their parents.
Confirming the development, the state’s police spokesman, DSP Wasiu Abiodun, said two other children taken from Tafa LGA of the state were rescued from the woman during the operation, as well as five more children abducted from various locations in the FCT.
He said the two Suleja children, as well as the two others from Tafa LGA, had since been reunited with their parents, while the five other children had been taken to an orphanage in Abuja.
He said the police identified one Chinwe Egwu (49) as the illegal custodian of the children, noting that she had been arrested.
