The police in Ogun State have rescued another chained 10-year-old girl identified as Promise Udeh, at Adigbe area of Abeokuta, the State capital.
According to the Punch, the girl was rescued on Thursday when neighbours living close to the building where she was chained and abandoned told the police.

The Ogun State acting Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, while confirming the incident said the girl was allegedly chained by her aunt, name given as Chiamaka Okafor, for stealing N4,000.
The PPRO disclosed that Chiamaka is currently on the run but her husband, Sunday Okafor has been taken into custody.
