The FCT Police Command on Friday rescued two children that were allegedly locked in a toilet and subjected to inhuman treatment by their guardian who lived in FCDA quarters, Garki, Abuja.
One of the children, Wisdom Chidemi, 9 years, who miraculously escaped through the window of the apartment raised the alarm that led to the rescue of the second victim, Angel Nwoga, also nine years old.
The police spokesman, DSP Anjuguri Manzah, disclosed in a statement on Saturday, that Nwoga was rescued from the apartment by operatives from Garki Police Division and Federal Fire Service.
