Abandoned 9-month-old baby found crawling on road

Residents of Shodipo Crescent in the Ikeja Government Reserved Area of Lagos State were shocked on Wednesday to find an abandoned baby boy crawling on the road.

PUNCH Metro learnt that the nine-month-old baby, whose name had yet to be ascertained, was seen crawling by residents who quickly alerted some policemen on patrol in the area.

Our correspondents gathered that the child was picked up by the policemen and brought to the Lagos State Police Command headquarters, Ikeja.

The baby was thereafter taken for a checkup.

It was gathered that the nine-month-old was believed to have crawled out of his parents’ apartment, although no resident in the area had showed up for the baby boy.
