A baby boy who appears to be less than 24 hours old was found
abandoned in a deserted path surrounded by shrubs in Ikorodu area of
Lagos state recently.
The innocent child was welcomed to the world
in this most wicked manner by an unknown mother or parents. The baby
boy who was neatly wrapped was found in a bush at the early hours of
Monday November 26, 2012, along Ikorodu -Itokin road, close to the
popular Lucky Fibre bus-stop, Ikorodu.
According
to residents, the baby was found at about 7am that fateful day by
passers-by who were alerted by the cries of the baby.
Sympathisers
quickly rushed to the scene and saw the baby crying. There was no
written note or inscription left by the run-away mother. According to an
eye witness, the good Samaritans were afraid to carry the innocent
crying baby but on the orders of the chairman of the Community
Development Authority, CDA, the innocent baby was immediately taken to
the nearest police station.
Saturday Vanguard learnt that the
child was immediately taken to Shagamu road Police Division, Ikorodu and
then to an orphanage. The D.P.O Shagamu Road Police Division, SP Benard
Ediagboya, told Saturday Vanguard and anyone who crave any information
about the abandoned baby should call the Lagos State Police Public
Relations officer (PPRO), adding that investigation had begun on the
matter.
