Initially declared missing, Goodluck was discovered wandering the streets of Abakaliki before being rescued on February 4th, 2024, by vigilant operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Ebonyi State.

Investigations unveiled that the boy had sought to return to his parents, residing at Peter Okonkwo Street, Aguleri, Anambra East LGA, Anambra State, after staying with a relative in Abakaliki.

The Public Relations Officer of NSCDC, Anambra State Command, SC Edwin Okadigbo, explained that upon contact from the Ebonyi State Command, efforts were made to identify and reunite Goodluck with his family.

“After thorough verification,” stated Okadigbo, “the boy has been handed over to Mr. Onwe Sabastine, his father.”

This heartening conclusion to Goodluck’s ordeal highlights the crucial role of effective communication and collaboration between security agencies across states.

In response to this incident, Comdt Olatunde Maku, the state Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Anambra State Command, urged parents and guardians to adopt a compassionate approach to discipline.

“Parenting is an evolving responsibility,” noted Comdt Maku. “It requires understanding and love. Parents should avoid excessive displays of authority, fostering an environment of trust that discourages children from running away.”
