An eight-year-old boy, identified as Akachukwu Daniel, who could not state his whereabouts, was found over the weekend by the Anambra State Police Command.
He was found at about 10:10pm by the police patrol team attached to the Federal Highway Patrol, along Oba/Owerri road. He is three feet tall, dark in complexion and speaks the Igbo language fluently.
The police public relations officer of the state, SP Haruna Mohammed, said that “The boy was found wearing a sweater with an inner vest bearing ‘Ezechima Primary School, Onitsha’, and could neither find his way back home nor state where he hails from. He is presently in the protective care of the Oba Divisional Anti-Human Trafficking Unit pending identification of his parents or guardian.”
The police in the state, therefore, request the general public, who might identify the lad, to report to Oba Divisional Police Station or contact PPRO, Anambra State Police Command, through GSM no 08060970639.
