Several local publications have reported that the man who originally posted the videos came forth and shared relevant information with the authorities.

The man claimed to be a friend of the girls’ father and explained that the mother filmed those videos and sent them to her former husband who has not been financially supporting them.

The girls’ father and his family, who are based in Somalia, have been in touch with the ministry since and the twins have been handed over to them after a medical checkup.
