Residents of Shodipo Crescent in the Ikeja Government Reserved Area of
Lagos State were shocked on Wednesday to find an abandoned baby boy crawling on
the road.
It was gathered that the nine-month-old was believed to have crawled out
of his parents’ apartment, although no resident in the area had showed up for
the baby boy.
A police source told PUNCH that
the child would remain in the police custody until his family showed up with
concrete proofs of relationship.
She said, “We found the boy on Shodipo Crescent in the Ikeja GRA. He is
about nine months old. He was found crawling on the road. Some residents
thereafter alerted some policemen on patrol.
“The police team rescued the baby. So far, nobody has come up to claim
the baby. He must have left the custody of his parents or guardian and that is
how some children fall into the hands of kidnappers and ritual killers. He is
still with us at the command headquarters.”
The baby was thereafter taken for a checkup.
