Rescued kidnap victim delivers twins at Kogi IDP camp
The Kogi State government has announced that a rescued kidnap victim has given birth to twin girls at the internally displaced persons (IDP) camp in the state.
The Commissioner for Information and Communications, Kingsley Fanwo, disclosed this in a statement on Monday.
According to Mr Fanwo, the mother, whose identity is being withheld for security reasons, and her babies are in stable condition.
He said Governor Ahmed Ododo had directed that the mother and her newborns be transferred to the State Specialist Hospital for comprehensive medical care and postnatal support.
Mr Fanwo recalled that the IDP camp was established by the state government as a temporary rehabilitation centre for rescued kidnap victims.
He noted that the number of rescued victims had increased due to intensified security operations.
The commissioner reaffirmed the government’s commitment to the welfare and rehabilitation of all rescued victims in the state and commended security operatives for their sustained efforts in tackling criminality in Kogi and across the country.
