Teen Mom Explains Why She Dumped Her 4 - Month Old Baby As Lagos Takes Up Responsibilities
The Lagos State Task Force says its men have
rescued a four- month-old baby boy put in a
bag and dumped under the bridge in Oshodi
area of the state.
The Chairman of the outfit, SP Olayinka
Egbeyemi, told newsmen in Ikeja that the
enforcement team of the Task Force rescued
the baby while on duty in the area.
Egbeyemi said that the 18-year-old mother of
the baby was arrested by an official of the
force when she was running away after
dumping the baby.
He said that during an investigation, the
mother confessed that she dumped the baby
because she could no longer take care of him.
“We have briefed the Lagos State
Commissioner of Police, Mr Fatai Owoseni,
about the incident and he has directed that the
baby and his mother be immediately
transferred to Social Welfare Department of the
Lagos State Ministry of Youth and Social
Development,’’ Egbeyemi said.
The mother told newsmen that she decided to
dump the baby when none of her family
members was ready to accommodate and help
her.
“My mother sent me out because I could not
identify the man who impregnated me. I had
sex with different men,” she said.
According to her, she dropped out of school in
JSS II, due to poverty.
