Little Christopher's father, Charles Nkonyeni - from Murchison - says they are relieved their baby is back home.
"I'm happy to find my son - especially to find him alive. What made me the happiest is seeing the smile on his mother's face. I haven't seen that smile in weeks. We'd like to thank everyone who has supported us," he says.
