The Commissioner of Police, Mr. Johnson Kokumo, said on Saturday that the proprietress could be made to stand the law if discovered culpable.
Kokumo said, “The proprietress of the orphanage is yet to be seen. On arrival of our men day before yesterday (Friday), we learnt that she travelled to somewhere in Delta state.
“We really need to talk to her. She needs to tell us how she came in touch with the kid. She has her personal story to tell. From there, we will be able to decide our subsequent line of movement. She has been formally invited. If she is culpable, we will not hesitate to process her thru the judiciary.”
The commissioner stated that efforts were ongoing to properly pick out the family of the girl in order to keep away from any mix-up.

“That was why we picked one of the girls to be able to attend to the little woman’s needs. the individual that was brought with the little female was not in any way arrested.”
