A primary three pupil of Torufa Primary School, Warri; Master Emmanuel Bonny who was declared missing on October 1, 2019 has been found alive. He was reportedly dumped at Okpaka community by some unidentified persons in black-colour SUV, who immediately drove off.
The mother of the boy, Mrs Favour Bonny, told newsmen that her son went to Warri Township Stadium on October 1, 2019 to celebrate Nigeria’s Independence, but did not return home.
Mrs Bonny said a missing person’s case was reported at divisional police stations and electronic media houses in Warri and environs.
“Today I got a call from a distance relation in Okwagbe Market that a missing child was found in Okpaka Community. The caller advised that I should check if the found child is my son,” she stated.
She explained further that she was told that her “son was dumped at Okpaka Community by some unidentified persons in black-colour SUV that immediately zoomed off”.
The lucky mother also said a kind-hearted chief in the community helped her to reunite with her son without stress, and that the chief gave her transport fare to her residence in Father Healey Street, Warri.
Mrs Bonny said that her son did not recognise her or his father until he was exorcised with anointing oil by a ‘Man of God’ in Okpaka Community.
Emmanuel was later taken to Central Hospital, Warri for check-up.
