Wonders as the saying goes shall never cease. It is very
amazing to hear cases of child abandonment especially when one considers
the fact that children are precious gifts from God.
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.
