The federal capital territory police has recovered the thirteen-year-old boy who went missing over the weekend, when he and his mother and younger brother went for ‘back-to-school shopping’ at Sahad Stores II in Garki, Abuja.
It was gathered that the naive Chivirter Gbileve who had initially expressed resistance to returning to school took advantage of his mother’s distraction while shopping, excused himself to the restroom, changed from the uniform he was wearing to civil wear, and absconded.
He has since been recovered by the police surveillance team attached to the Garki divisional police headquarters where he was reunited with his family.
