According to some preliminary investigations, the orphanage is connected to the most recent incident involving four siblings who were allegedly taken from Ado in Nasarawa State and transported to Gwagwalada in the FCT.
On Monday, the children’s biological parents reunited with them.
According to the statement, “Investigations have revealed links to the recent case of four siblings who were happily reunited with their biological parents on Monday, January 5, 2026,” the statement read.
Additionally, investigators have discovered allegations of collusion between the orphanage and Anderson Archibong, the organization’s executive secretary, and the current arrest warranted by the NACCRAN.
The partnership is suspected of having allegedly “facilitated the illegal movement of children from states including Benue and Nasarawa into Abuja for unauthorised fostering and adoption,” according to the Director of Child Development. ”
