The woman's elder brother, Cletus Ibeh, who saw the report online, went to the state Ministry of Women Affairs where she and her daughter had been since they were found wandering by a monarch.
After thorough questioning, they were handed over to him.
“I came to Abeokuta when somebody told us that they saw her and daughter in the news. We have been looking for them for the past three days. I first went to Owode at the king’s palace and they told me they are in the ministry. We are grateful to everybody, especially the media for the publicity. Only God will reward you” the family member told newsmen.
