THE Representative of UNICEF Nigeria, Peter Hawkins, has commended the release of abducted children in Ondo State. 

In a statement released on Sunday, Hawkins said: “UNICEF commends the rescue of more than 50 children abducted and held against their will in Ondo State.

“Children should not be targets of violence in whatever guise. Violence against children is condemnable and we call on governments to redouble efforts to protect children against all forms of violence. A society’s health is measured by how it treats its children.”
