Mum Abandons 7-Month-Old Baby in Daycare
A mum has reportedly abandoned her baby in a daycare centre in the Ikorodu area of Lagos for over three months now.
Vanguard reports;
Mrs Elizabeth Oyeshile, who runs the day care facility, said the woman identified as Soloja Ayobola described herself as a politician and a member of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and that because of the nature of her work, she travelled mostly during weekends for political campaigns and rallies.
Oyeshile said the woman kept her baby, Mofeoluwanifemi Amos, in the facility on Thursday morning and said she would take her back on Monday.
Oyeshile said: “The arrangement was that she will be keeping the child during the week, while the centre will take care of the child weekends and we agreed on a weekly payment. She came to the day-care centre about three times before actually putting her baby at the centre for the first time on Thursday, January 22.”
It was gathered that sometime in March, Ayobola came with her male friend (names withheld) to the day-care centre.
While introducing the man to Elizabeth Oyeshile, the woman was said to have explained that whenever she was not around, her male friend would be paying the bills for the baby’s upkeep but the man refused.
It was learned that he only provided diapers for the baby until May, when he stopped.
On April 5, Ayobola came to the day-care centre and complained that it was becoming burdensome to pay the bills weekly and that she would be paying at the end of the month and deposited N10,000 part payment, which was the last payment she made.
Mrs Oyeshile said: “The last time Soloja Ayobola came to the day-care was on May 25. I asked her to take her baby since she was finding it difficult paying for her upkeep. She pleaded that she will be coming regularly and also promised to come with my money on Friday, but she didn’t. Since she abandoned her child at the facility, I have called her several times but she refused to pick her calls. The baby, who was seven months old when she brought her is now a year and three months old. I did not know what to do. It was when I lost my son-in-law three weeks ago that family and friends, who saw the baby when they came to pay condolence visit, advised me to take the baby to the police and report the case.”
It was gathered that nobody knows the whereabouts of Soloja Ayobola, having relocated from her place of abode without notifying anyone.
If all is well with the mum then she must be insane to have abandoned her flesh and blood in the daycare for this long.
I wonder what the hell is wrong with we humans nowadays.
Some women are really heartless!
Some mothers hmmmm.Tomorrow she will appear with cock n bull story n cry for forgiveness.Politician indeed
Haba! Just like that? Hmmmmm
Na wa ooo..the news of these days sha, mother abadon her own child…Odikwa egwu
Some mothers are not worth to be called mothers holy ghost will not let her rest until she comes for her baby
Frm d story u culd see d level of her irresponsibility is a pity dat an innocent baby is involved
Can you imagine this kind of foolishness?
hmmmmnn.human beings
I wonder what’s the reason why a mother will abandon the child. The day care owner should take her to motherless or orphanage if she doesn’t want to keep the baby
Lord have mercy
She’s not just wicked but selfish
What sort of a woman is this?
Hope she’s still alive if so then she doesn’t deserve to be a mother
For her to relocate means that she purposely abandon the child.still better than killing or throwing away.
What if she died or was kidnapped.
What some people have been praying and fasting all day and night for. Hmmmm
This woman must be insane. Imagine the kind of life she is even leaving? I pity this innocent baby.
i hope d woman is ok and still alive..
Abandon is beta dan killing or maybe she dead on d way nobody can tell
At least this one didn’t kill the baby.Things are really happening
Chai millions of women out there are crying to God for a child, dis woman here is fortunate enough to hv one and she doesn’t care for her…God hv mercy.
This is really heart breaking
