Reacting to the incident, the director general of the Niger state Child Rights Protection Agency, Maryam Kolo, said part of the agency's demands to the ministry of education in the state was that Fatima receives part of Mohammed's salary monthly, to take care of her needs.
Kolo said the agency would petition the court for a DNA test to be conducted on the baby, which will help the court proceedings and police investigations. She also assured that Faith will get justice as well as return to school.
Meanwhile, investigations allegedly revealed that Mohammed had secretly transferred to another school while his case remained pending in court.
