The Committee for the Defence of Human Rights, Delta State, has petitioned the police over the alleged detention of a 10-year-old boy, Prince Emeghene Idiovwa, by the management of a Warri-based priva
te hospital over unpaid medical bills.
The rights group stated that the decision of the hospital contravened the Child’s Rights Act 2003 and the Delta State Child’s Right Law 2008. The CDHR urged the police authorities to determine if the hospital could detain the child due to accumulated hospital bills.
