A day-old baby girl has been abandoned close to a church by the roadside in the Ikorodu Local Government Area of Lagos State in Nigeria, reports said.
“The baby girl was found by a resident who was on her way to a store in the area as she heard her crying helplessly,” reports said.
The resident raised the alarm to attract other persons in the area to the incident but no one claimed the baby.
The resident reported the case to the Ikorodu Police Division as she suspected that the baby’s mother abandoned her at the location.
The baby has been taken from the scene, and sent to the Ikorodu General Hospital, for treatment.
The Family Support Unit of the Ikorodu Division is conducting a preliminary investigation into the case.
