People were left in deep shock after a nine-month-old baby was found abandoned and crawling on the road in Lagos. The baby was found near Shodipo Crescent in the Ikeja Government Reserved Area of Lagos State on Wednesday.

According to Punch, the shocked residents were forced to alert the police who came to the scene and took the baby to the Lagos State Police Command headquarters, Ikeja.

The baby was thereafter taken for a checkup.

It was gathered that the nine-month-old was believed to have crawled out of his parents’ apartment, although no resident in the area had showed up for the baby boy. The child would remain in police custody until police investigation is concluded.

Speaking about the incident, a police source said: “We found the boy on Shodipo Crescent in the Ikeja GRA. He is about nine months old. He was found crawling on the road. Some residents thereafter alerted some policemen on patrol.

“The police team rescued the baby. So far, nobody has come up to claim the baby. He must have left the custody of his parents or guardian and that is how some children fall into the hands of kidnappers and ritual killers. He is still with us at the command headquarters.”
