“I was the one who brought the boy from home on January 11. He was to stay with us and start schooling. On that day around 2pm, I was sleeping in the sitting room. The television was on, and children were watching and playing.
“Noah told the other children that he was going to urinate outside. It was after some minutes when he did not return that the children raised the alarm. That was how we started to search for him.
“Our house does not have any canal or a well where he could have slipped into. Also, nobody saw anyone taking him away. It has been several weeks now and it is just a mystery to us that Noah disappeared like that.
“After reporting at the police station, we made other efforts to search for him, but he has not been found,”
