……..As Enugu Police applauds citizens for making the reunion possible in barely 24 hours
The Enugu State Police Command has reunited Comfort Ifunanya Chukwugbo with her mother, Mrs. Benedicta Chukwugbo, in an emotionally charged atmosphere, barely twenty-four hours after announcing her recovery.
According to a press release on Tuesday, 24th January 2023 signed by the Enugu State Command Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, said that the highly excited and appreciative mother, who is a widow, gave the name of the found girl as Comfort Ifunanya Chukwugbo aged 23, a native of Inyi in Oji-River Local Government Area.
She stated that Comfort left a prayer house in the same Inyi community, where she was taken to for prayers, on 31st December 2022, following her state of mental imbalance. That all efforts made to locate her proved abortive until she was notified about the Found Girl press release and pictures of her daughter circulated via different media platforms.
Mrs. Chukwugbo further stated that Comfort, who was a student of Abia State University Uturu (ABSU), started suffering from a mental imbalance in 2020 after she attended and came back from a wedding ceremony in Abuja.
Meanwhile, the Command sincerely appreciates everyone who contributed to making the finding and reunion of Comfort with her mother and family members possible. She particularly applauds the Good Samaritan that found and brought her to the Police Station, pressmen, and public-spirited individuals who used their various media platforms to widely circulate the Found Girl press release, and those who identified and escalated the information to her mother.
The Command further urged all and sundry not to relent in being compassionate, caring and showing undiluted love in this manner, which made the finding of Comfort and the speedy reunion with her mother and family members possible.
