The child arrived in Antananarivo with his mother and was received by the Head of State at the presidential palace.

According to statements, investigations into the matter are continuing to identify those responsible for the kidnapping and any accomplices.

To recognize their efforts, a six-month "seniority bonus" was announced for all participants, allowing them to advance their careers more quickly. The Head of State emphasized that government efforts to protect lives, especially children, and combat serious crimes must be continuously strengthened. "Everything possible will be done to value and improve the work of public servants who have succeeded, saved lives and protected the nation," according to the statement. This reception of the rescued child demonstrates the government's commitment to recognizing the work of security forces and public officials responsible for rescue operations and public protection.
