The Kwara State Government in Nigeria rescued 30 children from Iranlowo Oluwa Orphanage and Children’s Home in Ilorin.
Officials from the state Ministry of Social Development carried out the operation after finding problems with how the home was run and concerns about the children’s well-being. The rescued children, aged two to 15, received medical care, nutrition, and counseling at a government-approved shelter.
The Ministry of Social Development plans to find the children’s families when possible, and place those who cannot be reunited in other approved facilities. The government is also requiring all child-care institutions in Kwara State to register with the Ministry and display proof of approval. Commissioner Hajiya Mariam Nnfatima Imam praised the state government's commitment to protecting children from harm. Alhaji Hamzat Abdulfatah, Director of Social Work, said the rescue operation would improve the children’s futures through collaboration among stakeholders.
