According to a release signed by the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi disclosed that ”the baby was sighted by some passers-by who alerted the Police Operatives attached to Orile Division of the Lagos State Police Command before she was rescued and handed over to the Gender Unit of the Lagos State Police Command, Ikeja” he added.
The baby was, however, said to have been taken to the office of the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Hakeem Odumosu by the Officer in charge of the Gender Unit where the CP directed that the baby be accorded proper medical attention and taken to a government accredited shelter (facility) for custody and proper care.
CP Odumosu, while reassuring the general public noted that ”the command will continue to work with all relevant government agencies and interest groups in fighting against this inhuman act and other social vices in Lagos State”.
