Baffled by the sudden disappearance of the five children, the state government said the case has been reported to the police on Friday.

Stella Obasanjo Motherless children’s home is owned by the Ogun state government.

In a statement disclosed, on Tuesday, by the State Commissioner for Information, Abdulwaheed Odusile.

Odusile said the government’s attention was drawn to an incident concerning five children that allegedly escaped from the Home in Abeokuta.

He said, “As such, the state government has taken steps to bring them back into the home as the matter was promptly reported to the police and all those on duty on the night of the incident were promptly queried.

“The state government is on top of the situation as the department in charge of the Home has reported the matter to the police.

“The government has also sent signals to all required quarters in order to establish the truth behind the saga.

“We are very much in touch with all the agencies of the government concerned. We are conducting our own investigations to establish the facts. We want the public to be rest assured that we shall leave no stone unturned to unravel the truth.

“The authorities concerned were duly notified and the police were informed. We did not just report the case to the police, we went a step further to issue queries to everyone on duty that night. If need be, we will set up a panel to further look into the matter, but we want the police to continue their investigation before we take any further steps.

“Ogun State is a no-go-area for criminal-minded individuals. If it is established that some of our staff were involved in any shady deal, they would be promptly brought to book. We live in a society where we allow the law to take its course.”
