In Ilorin, the capital of Kwara State, government officials have rescued 30 children from an unapproved orphanage and children's home. The rescued children, aged between two and 15, are now receiving proper medical care and psychosocial support at a government-approved shelter. State Commissioner for Social Development, Hajiya Mariam Nnfatima Imam, announced the operation, stating that the children are being monitored for their health, education, and long-term protection.
The facility's operator, Iranlowo Oluwa Orphanage and Children’s Home, was found to have irregularities in the welfare and living conditions of the children. The children will be traced to their families, if possible, or placed in approved care facilities if reunification is not feasible. Imam emphasized that all orphanages and children's homes in the state must be duly registered and approved by the Ministry of Social Development, with the approval inscription displayed prominently on their signposts.
