Yesterday, a photograph of a child hawker who was sleeping beside his wares went viral. The picture which was posted by a social media got lots of Nigerians wondering why the child will be out alone in the road at that time of the night working.
Nigerian actor and comedian Williams Uchemba who also saw the photo then commented on the posts asking for assistance to reach the child in question. The good news is here as the boy has now been found.
Uchemba who gave an update on his search revealed that he has found the boy. He gave the child’s name as Joseph a 10-year-old from Akwa-Ibom. He said the boy informed him that he stays with a woman who took him from her mum, promising that he would be sent to school but that didn’t happen. He was rather sent into the streets to hawk and hasn’t eaten in 3days.
He also revealed that he will be assisting the boy to reunite with his parents in Akwa-Ibom and promised to put him on a scholarship.
