From Emmanuel Uzor, Awka
The Anambra State Police Command has recovered a three-month-old baby allegedly abandoned by its mother in Anambra State.
Police Public Relations Officer, SP Toochukwu Ikenga, said in a statement: “We wish to inform the general public, particularly residents of Anambra State, of a three-month-old baby found in front of Oraukwu Boys Technical College. The baby was recovered by a good Samaritan and brought to Eziowelle Police Station.
“Meanwhile, all efforts so far made to locate the parents or relatives of the baby for identification and claim have proved abortive. The police have handed over the baby to the Director of the Welfare Department, Idemili North Local Government Area, for safe custody. Anyone who can identify or assist the police in reuniting the baby with its family is hereby enjoined to come forward.”
This incident may be connected to the present economic realities in the country, as families struggle to make ends meet.
