Mrs Joy Omokivie, the SDS Officer in charge of the case, told the News Agency of Nigeria , that the SDS channeled the petition to the Gender Unit of the Force CID to investigate the matter. She added that after some investigations, the 12-year-old girl was rescued and is currently in the custody of the Social Welfare Department, “while the young boy is still with the mother.”
The NGO claimed that the children eat mostly snacks and noodles until she returns late at night or the following morning. According to the group, men, including the hotel owner, pay regular visits to the room occupied by the minors and their mother, whenever the mother is not around.
