“I am the happiest man right now. My nephew who was kidnapped since 2017 from PH and taken to Ondo State by one Mr. Taye who was working at PH Slaughter just located home from Ondo to PH out of the blues.

“He kidnapped him when he was about 8 years old. He said the Mr. Taye ran away after someone raised alarm that he is not the father of the child at Ondo State. He was asked to do DNA test to prove he is the father but he ran when Police came to pick him. How God did this I don't know, but May GOD BE PRAISED!!!”

“He is my nephew. The last born son of my Step-Sister (from my mother). When he dissapeared we made efforts to find him by going to various places he usually go to to ask if they saw him, they told us he was last seen with Taye.. We started looking for Taye we could not find him only to hear that he was seen with the boy boarding a vehicle. I asked my mum to report to the police but she did not. That was how it went.”
