The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has rescued two children found wandering about in Osun and reunited them with their parents.
The NSCDC Commandant in the state, Mr. Michael Adaralewa, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday in Osogbo.
He said the agency’s patrol team rescued a 12-year-old boy seen wandering around the Lameco area of Osogbo at about 11:00 p.m. on Thursday.
Adaralewa said: “The boy said he ran away from his guardian’s house due to inadequate feeding. He alleged that the guardian only fed him twice daily and that he wasn’t satisfied.

“Upon reuniting him with his guardian, it was revealed that the boy has a high appetite, and no matter the quantity of food given to him, he remains unsatisfied.
“On Saturday, another eight-year-old girl was found wandering at Apara Area, Osunjela, Ilesha Road, Osogbo, and was taken to a nearby NSCDC office by a good Samaritan.
“She was later reunited with her parents.”
He said the NSCDC was working with sister agencies to uncover the whereabouts of the three children kidnapped in August and bring the perpetrators to justice.
