Another sad case of child abandonment has come under our radar as a
day-old baby was discovered by residents and has been rescued by the
police.
The innocent day-old baby that was inside a carton and placed at a
bus stop along Adelodun road in the Government Residential Area (GRA),
Ilorin, the capital of Kwara State; was thankfully found.
According to eyewitnesses, the baby must have been dumped by its
mother shortly after being born as the placenta was still on it.
The baby was reportedly spotted by some residents who consequently
called the State Police Command and a patrol team from the A-Division
was dispatched to the scene, evacuated the baby and was taken to the
Civil Service Clinic for medical attention.
“The baby was abandoned this morning at that spot. A good
Samaritan called the distress number of the Nigerian Police, Kwara
Command and a team from A-Division was sent to the place.
When our officers got there, the fresh baby was found neatly
packed inside the carton. And we took the newly born baby straight to
the office and then to the Civil Service Clinic in Ilorin here where he
was given medical attention.”
