Speaking immediately after rescuing the boy, the Women Affairs boss Hon Obinabo, who was visibly angry over the incident, assured that justice will be gotten for the little boy under Prof Chukwuma Soludo's administration. 

Hon. Obinabo went further to warn, intending offenders to desist forthwith or face the law as such dastardly act will not be tolerated in the state. 

It is important to note that the culprit is currently without her own child, which is why her little nephew was kept in her care. 

As at the time of this report, the suspect has been handed over to the police for further investigation and consequently charges the case to court.
