Days after their abduction, the kids were found in Onitsha, Anambra State. 

Chaired by retired Justice Wada Umar Rano, the Commission of Inquiry has been mandated to provide data of other missing children in Kano state.

According to Punch, “The Commission is to conduct an inquiry into cases of missing persons in Kano State from 2010 to date and to procure all such evidences, written or oral, and to examine all such persons, as witnesses, as the commission may deem it necessary or desirable to procure or examine.”

Recall that the police recently formally handed over to the Kano state government eight out of the nine rescued children who were forcefully abducted in the state.
