~~ Vows to Prosecute Those Behind the Unfortunate Incident.
In a heartwarming development, the Executive Chairman of Khana Local Government Area, Dr. Thomas Bariere, DSSRS, has achieved the successful reunion of two rescued underaged children with their family. The children were discovered in Akemfa community, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, and subsequent investigations revealed that they hailed from Ogoni, precisely Kpong community, Khana Local Government Area.

Through the collaborative efforts of the Khana authorities and the diligent work of the police, the identities of the children were established, confirming that they were indeed from Ogoni, Khana Local Government Area.
With an unwavering commitment with the view to reuniting the rescued children with their family, the Khana Council Boss left no stone unturned in ensuring their safe return home. Today, we are delighted to announce that the children have been successfully reunited with their family, bringing immense joy and relief to all parties involved.
