Risky Adventure: Boy Rescued From Inter-State Trekking

It is typical of children to always get involved in adventures that are grievous in nature yet unknown to them. They in their innocence and novice state engage in these activities with boldness and confidence being oblivious of the danger such could pose to their lives.
And it is moreso, when they feel annihilated in their environment.
Such was the decision of little Wisdom Timo. The 11- year-old orphan who made the news some days ago took to his adventure when he decided to trek from Ahoada, in Ahoada-East Local Government Area of Rivers State to his residence, Power line in Onitsha, Anambra State.
Little Timo saw the journey as one of the errands children run when they move from one end and side of the road/path to the other, jumping and catching the air until they get to their destinations.. Little did he know that this was different from the usual.
How could he have made it?
Considering that it was not just the distance but also the dangers on the roads and highways, it was unimaginable, yet, Timo dared it.
TheTide SOCIALS/KIDDIES lens gathered that Timo was rather prevented from emberking on his adventure when he was found by a Good Samaritan while wandering around Rumuekpe Junction in Rumuji, Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State.
Also, the only son of his late parents, Timo stayed with his grandmother who sells retail food condiment under the Onitsha overhead bridge. Right there, his grandmother handed him over to a woman who lives in Ahoada, Rivers State.
After a few days with the woman, Timo decided to escape from the woman under the guise that he was not well fed. The only place he could go to was to his grandmother in Onitsha and the only means is by trekking.
He was however saved from the hazardous adventure when picked up by a Samaritan who returned him to Ahoada Police Station.
While it was obvious that the child was exposed to moral dangers, efforts to reach his relatives were to no avail.
