He reminded parents and guardians to be extra alert while protecting children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enanga said the victim was kidnapped from her grandfather\u2019s home, without the knowledge of anyone and yet such threats against children are on the increase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
