On Tuesday, We received a call at Monsurat Ajoke Foundation, informing us about the situation and requesting our intervention to rescue the baby. We promptly visited the Nigeria Police Force, Ilobu command, to collect a police extract before proceeding.
At the family’s house, accompanied by a police officer, we met the baby, the neighbours, and the mother. Initially, the neighbours was reluctant to cooperate, leading us to return to the police station to brief them on the situation. The DPO added four more officers, and arrests were made among those disrupting our intervention. We returned to the station with the baby and neighbour.
One of the family member later show up at police station and requested our help, seeking a motherless home in Osogbo where they could monitor the child. We connected them with a reputable orphanage home, and the family agreed to hand over the child. We visited the orphanage’s headquarters, collected necessary documents, and conducted medical check-ups for the child. The child was admitted to the hospital with low respiratory issues and malaria and stress.
We spent five nights in the hospital, ensuring the child’s safety. The child was discharged on March 25, 2025, and handed over to the family, who then gave custody to Monsurat Ajoke Foundation. We transferred the child to the orphanage home, as agreed with the family.
