The Ogun Police Command has rescued another child,
10-year-old Promise Udeh, found chained in a house at Saraki, Adigbe area of Abeokuta,
Ogun State.
She was rescued on Thursday around 7.30 pm when neighbours
living close to the building where she was chained alerted the police.
She was rescued barely a week after the police and operatives of
the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps rescued a nine-year-old boy,
Korede Taiwo, chained by his father, Francis, for over a month for stealing.
The father and his step-mother, Kehinde, would soon appear in
court.
The acting Police Public Relations Officer in the state,
Abimbola Oyeyemi, said Promise was chained by her aunt, Chiamaka Okafor, who
accused her of stealing N4,000.
She was said to have been chained for two days (Wednesday and
Thursday) before she was rescued.
Oyeyemi said Chiamaka is currently on the run but her husband,
Sunday Okafor has been arrested.
