…As state govt vows to ensure speedy rescue of abducted school children
Onyedinma Foundation, a youth and women-led Nigerian non-profit organisation, has expressed deep concern over persistent cases of child abduction within rural communities in Abia State and urgently called for collective action for child safety.
The Foundation dedicated to empowering girls, women, foster care children, and other vulnerable people, especially in rural communities, was reacting to the abduction of two children on their way home from school in Umuosu-Nsulu, Isiala Ngwa North Local Government Area.
Recall that Onyedinma Foundation recently raised alarm over the trafficking of two sisters, aged 14 and 15, who were trafficked from the Ugwunagbo Local Government Area of Abia State, by their aunt, who deceived them with promises of employment as salesgirls in Lagos before they were intercepted at the Lagos border, by the Nigeria Police, as their traffickers attempted to smuggle them to Ghana.
The foundation said that it was deeply troubled, by yet another case of child abduction in Abia, following the June 26, 2026 abduction of the children that boarded a tricycle on their way home from school in Umuosu-Nsulu, Isiala Ngwa North Local Government Area, during a heavy rainfall.
