After 9 full month of painful
pregnancy, what could have forced a
mother to abandon her baby?
Above is the exact question on
everyone's mind at a quiet street in
Ilesa Osun State Nigeria.
On Wednesday, the residents of Oke
Iro street in Ilesha found a baby girl
wrapped in white shawl abandoned
on the silent part of the street.
Good Samaritans took the baby to the
Ministry of Women Affairs and social
welfare.
An official report has been filed at the
police station in the area as police
official urged members of the public
to provide useful information on the
