Lady caught while trying to throw her baby inside gutter in Lagos
A Nigerian man identified as Wale Ilebiyi on Instagram shared a disturbing post about a woman who attempted to dump her baby inside a big gutter in Iyana Ipaja, Lagos.
According to Wale, the woman came to the area by 10:30am to throw away the child. The gutter where she intended to leave the baby was in front of his office so he was quickly able to see her and stop her from going on with her plan. In no time, many people gathered around the woman and took pictures of her. The photos revealed that the lady might be mentally unwell. Eventually, the baby was rescued and she was taken to a police station in Ile-epo, Iyana Ipaja.
Many Nigerians have expressed outrage at what the lady did. They have also expressed the opinion that she might have a mental problem. See some reactions below:
