The NAPTIP personnel were said to have carried out the raid in company of policemen from the Kano State police command who arrived alongside the co-founder of the orphanage home. ‎Confirming the‎ incident to newsmen, a sister to the co-founder, Mrs. Maria Phil Ariyo, said the orphans were taken to Kano State by the police. This is coming eight days after the arrest and detention of the founder of Du-Merci Children Development Ministry, Solomon Tarfa, in Kano State. I politely told the security operatives that the children have not eaten and that I just finished preparing their Christmas meal. One of the officers laughed and said ‘don’t worry madam, go and serve the children and serve us as well.
