While some are crying
every day for the fruit of the womb, some get pregnant, deliver the child and
abandon or sometimes go as far as killing the innocent child.
The pictured baby was reportedly
abandoned overnight at Benson Bus Stop in Ikorodu, Lagos Nigeria. Efforts by those
present at the scene to save the Baby proved abortive as the infant said to be
a male was dead!
It has been noticed that
dumping of babies are becoming a common sight in Lagos; an act deliberately
carried out by young girls who fear retribution from parents and prostitutes
who prefer to get rid of their unwanted child who they see as an obstacle in
the continued trade of their bodies.
A witness to the dastardly
scene suggested that the Lagos State Government must as a matter of urgency
carry out Public Service Announcements to encourage ladies to drop-off their
unwanted babies at Foster homes or the SOS Village if this ugly act is to be
corrected.
