Day-old baby abandoned in church premises

Residents of Gowon Estate, Egbeda, Lagos, woke up on Sunday morning to the cry of an abandoned day-old baby, abandoned beside Apostolic Church, around Water Bus Stop.
An eyewitness, Ibukun Olatomi, said: “On Sunday morning, we found a healthy baby wrapped in a white shawl.
“The baby’s medication was also kept beside her. It was one of the residents in the area that initially raised alarm after she discovered the baby.
“A lot of people gathered to take a glance at the little baby. Later, the baby was taken to Gowon Estate Police Station.”
Confirming the report, Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Joe Offor, said members of the Apostolic Church gave the baby first aid treatment in their church clinic before the baby was transferred to Alakara Julienne Centre, where police have adequate facilities to take care of the baby.
