2-YEAR OLD BABY LOCKED UP BY WICKED MOTHER FOR DAYS WITHOUT FOOD IN UMUAHIA

                                                                         

According to the Programme Manager, Vicar Hope Foundation, Mr Raymond Ukwa, who confirmed the incident, said that the organization received a call on Saturday, April 25, from landlords in the area that a child had been locked up for several days in an uncompleted building at Zone 5, Agbama Housing Estate, Umuahia

The foundation then reported the case to the Umuahia Area Commander of the Nigeria Police Force, Mr Ekeinde Odion, who detailed officers to break into the building and rescue the child.
Neighbours, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the child’s parents were in the habit of locking him up for days without food or water, adding that they sometime pass food through a crack in the wall of the building to him.
The Assistant Secretary, Board of Trustees of the foundation, Mr Chika Ojiegbe, said the child was examined by medical personnel and taken to a safe place, while relevant authorities had commenced investigation into the circumstances surrounding his abandonment in the uncompleted building.
