The incident occurred on Sunday, November 1, 2026, when the young boy reportedly left home to play but was subsequently unable to find his way back or locate his family.
According to the police, a concerned resident who found the child wandering around the area took him to the Okpoko Police Division for assistance.
Preliminary interaction with the boy revealed that he is originally from Ebenebe in Anambra State.
The Police Command said it had commenced efforts to establish contact with his parents or guardians and ensure his safe reunion with his family.
The command is therefore calling on residents of Okpoko, Ebenebe and other parts of Anambra State to assist in identifying the child’s family.
Anyone with useful information that could help locate his parents or guardians is urged to contact the Okpoko Police Division or the Anambra State Police Command.
The police appealed to the public to support the effort to reunite the 10-year-old boy with his family.
