The Anambra State Police Command has appealed to members of the public to help locate the family of a 10-year-old boy, Chinecherem Onuwasoanya, who reportedly lost his way home in Okpoko, Ogbaru Local Government Area.
The incident occurred on Sunday, November 1, after the child reportedly left home to play but subsequently became unable to find his way back or locate his family members.
According to the Police Command, a concerned resident who found the boy wandering around the area took him to the Okpoko Police Division for assistance.
During preliminary interaction with the child, he identified himself as Chinecherem Onuwasoanya and disclosed that he hails from Ebenebe in Anambra State.
The police said efforts had commenced to establish contact with his parents or guardians and ensure his safe reunion with his family.
The Command has therefore urged anyone with useful information that could help identify or locate the boy’s family to contact the Okpoko Police Division or the Anambra State Police Command.
The police also appealed to residents to share the information to facilitate the child’s reunion with his loved ones.
