“We succeeded in uniting them with their respective parents through the support of the State Ministry of Women Affairs,” he said .

Yisa disclosed that the move was part of the group’s efforts to protect the right of the Nigerian child.

He also lauded the support of the National Human Rights Commission to the group.
