Police seek help to locate family of missing child found in Abuja
The police command in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has called on the public to assist with useful information that can help to reunite a missing male child with his family in Abuja.
The FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, made the call on Friday in Abuja.
She said the child, estimated to be between 10 and 11 years old, was found roaming around Works and Housing Estate in the Gwarimpa area of the FCT.
Ms Adeh said the child was dressed in a white shirt and carton coloured trousers and was found and brought to Gwarimpa Police Divisional Headquarters by a Good Samaritan on December 26.
She said the child was brought to the police station at about 4:00 pm after efforts to locate his parents or relatives proved unsuccessful.
