According to the FCT Commissioner of Police, Sunday Babaji, the children were found on Sunday, April 3, 2022.

"After the receipt of the complaint, we made an entry of missing persons. We deployed all our intelligence assets and informed all our neighbouring states through our signal, describing the children. We worked with all the community leaders, vigilantes and hunters.

"We also searched the bushes; the school authorities were also invited to the police station for questioning over negligence.

"Yesterday (Sunday) around 8.30pm, our tactical men on a stop-and-search patrol at Wuye division, which is the Games Village area, saw the three children distressed.

"They rescued them, took them to the station and handed them over to a female police officer, who questioned them. The DPO was aware of the missing children at Kabusa, so he quickly contacted a fellow DPO there; he rushed down and it was discovered that they were the ones.

"After they were rescued, we took them to the Muhammadu Buhari Police Hospital for medical check-up. They were found okay, and a psychological check is tomorrow.ÔÇØ

Speaking to newsmen on Monday, the father of the children, said;

"This morning (Monday), I received a call from the Wuye Police Station asking if I was the father of Marvellous, Alex and Rehoboth (Chinenye) and I said yes. The caller asked me to come, that my children were there.

"I quickly rushed out of bed, called one of my brothers and went straight to the station. On getting there, I saw my children and I was happy. Tomorrow (Tuesday) will be two weeks since their disappearance. My wife and I hardly sit or eat because we are always going from one place to another. I don't want this to happen to anybody; I thank God that we are alive. For some others, they would have died. With God, all things are possible. When you have faith, God will do it. I never one-day thought that they would be back. God, my faith and people helped me.ÔÇØ

The parents appreciated the police force for their efforts in bringing back the children.
