A four-month-old baby has been recovered
from the Oshodi under bridge shortly after he
was dumped by his mother, Timileyin Adesina.
The mother was arrested by operatives of the
Lagos State Task Force on Environmental and
Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit, who
recovered the baby from a sack under the
bridge.
It was learnt that the men were on a raid to
dislodge commercial buses causing
obstruction on highways in the area when one
of them saw Adesina dumping the child.
The official was said to have walked down to
the spot and found the baby naked in the bag
while the mother had fled.
“The streetlights around the bridge exposed
the woman. The officer spotted from distance
that someone dropped a bag and started
running. He quickly moved towards the bag
and when he saw that it was a baby that was
packaged inside it, he chased the woman and
arrested her,” a source told PUNCH Aproko.
Eighteen-year-old Adesina was said to have
told investigators that her mother sent her
and the baby out as she could not identify the
baby’s father.
She said, “I dropped out from school out of
poverty while in JSS 2. I was living with my
mother at 26, Coker Street, Ejigbo, Lagos and
my father died nine years ago.
“My mother sent me out because I gave birth
and could not identify the man who
impregnated me as different men slept with
me.”
The task force Chairman, SP Olayinka
Egbeyemi, who confirmed the incident, said
the mother disclosed that she took the action
as she could no longer take care of the baby.
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Fatai
Owoseni, after being briefed about the
incident, was said to have directed that both
the rescued baby and his mother be
immediately transferred to Social Welfare
Department of the Lagos State Ministry of
Youths and Social Development.
