In a dramatic turn of events, another 10-year-old girl, Promise Udeh, has been rescued by the police in Ogun State after she was chained by her aunt, Chiamaka Okafor.
The girl was chained for allegedly stealing the sum of N4,000 at Okafor’s residence at Saraki, Adigbe area of Abeokuta, the state capital.
New Telegraph learnt that she had been chained for 48 hours before she was rescued.
The incident, which happened on Thursday, came barely seven days after a nine-year-old boy, Korede Taiwo, who was chained and tortured for weeks inside a church in Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State, was rescued by security operatives.
In Korede’s case, he was chained by his 40-year-old father and pastor in charge of Celestial Church of Christ (Key of Joy Parish), Ajibawo area in Atan Ota, Francis Taiwo.
New Telegraph learnt Friday that Mrs Okafor chained the girl to a burglar proof at an uncompleted building in Adigbe area.
She, however, escaped when policemen, acting on tip-off from neighbours, stormed the scene and rescued Patience at about 7:30pm.
The police subsequently arrested the husband of the suspect, Sunday Okafor.
