Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a mother whose child was abducted two decades ago will finally be reunited, thanks to her teenage son. This comes after the son found a person on Facebook who looked similar to his mother.

After a lady appeared as a 'person you might know' on the popular social networking app, the teenager rushed to his grandmother to show her the picture of the lady who resembled his mother.

In shock, the grandmother told the teenager to show his mother the profile and so a 20-year-old abduction case was reopened.
