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 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.
The
child was immediately taken to Shagamu road Police Division, Ikorodu and
then to an orphanage.
