Police rescue two children starved, locked in toilet by their guardian

The Police in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have rescued two children who were always locked in the toilet by their guardian, Mrs Loveth Ilobi, whenever she out of the house. The Police Public Relations Officer [PPRO] in the FCT, DSP Anjuguri Manzah, said the children were always starved and subjected to other inhumane treatment by the woman. They were reportedly rescued after one of the children escaped through a window of their apartment in a two-storey building in Garki to get the help that led to their rescue. The statement read, “One of the children, Wisdom Christopher King Chidemi ‘m’ 9 years old, who miraculously escaped through the window of their guardian’s apartment located in a two storey-building raised the alarm that led to the rescue of the second victim, one Angel Nwoga ‘f’ 9 years old from the apartment. “The second victim was rescued from the apartment by operatives from Garki Police Division and Federal Fire Service. “The guardian, Mrs Loveth Ilobi, was reported to have been subjecting the children to undue hardship and inhuman treatment; information has it that she often starves the children of food and locks them up in the toilet pending her return from work late at night. “The culprit has been arrested by Police operatives from Garki Division. “Investigation is on-going.”
