United Nations Children’s Fund, (UNICEF) recently has commended the rescue of over 50 children abducted and held against their will in Ondo State.
UNICEF Nigeria representative, Peter Hawkins in a press statement released in Abuja, yesterday stated this.
The children were allegedly been held by a church at its premises in Ondo town, Ondo State where the Police found and rescued them.
Hawkins has enjoined governments at all levels to redouble efforts to protect children against all forms of violence while condemning all targets of violence against children in whatever guise.
The UNICEF Chieftain said, “Children should not be targets of violence in whatever guise. Violence against children is condemnable and we call on governments to redouble efforts to protect children against all forms of violence. A society’s health is measured by how it treats its children. “
