A Nigerian couple did the unthinkable in far-away Cyprus: They locked their four-month-old baby inside their car at 3:00a.m and went to enjoy themselves in a nightclub.

According to reports, around 3:00 a.m., a concerned citizen noticed the infant sleeping in a child seat in the back of the car in Engomi and notified the Ayios Dhometios police in Cyprus.

Officers rushed to the scene and located the car at around 3.20 a.m., ascertaining it was locked. Officers proceeded to search for the owner and after 10 minutes, a 21-year-old Nigerian man appeared and identified himself as the owner of the car and father of the child.

According to a police spokesman in the country, Michalis Katsounots, 10 minutes later, the 26-year-old mother of the infant was found in a night club near where the car was parked. “Both the father and mother were found to be showing signs of intoxication,” said Katsounotos.

The parents were arrested and taken with the baby to the Nicosia CID for exposing the child to danger and were questioned and charged in writing before being released. A Welfare Services officer was also involved in the case and arrived at CID to undertake issues related to the infant.

According to Katsounotos, the baby was alone in the car for at least 45 minutes.

“The issue that should be troubling everyone is to what extent the parents themselves underestimate the life of their own children,” said Katsounotos, adding that “the concerned citizen who found the baby and notified the police deserves congratulations. If the baby had not been found then the consequences would likely have been tragic.”

That's the satanic catalyst that humiliate the true meaning of 9ja. Most of us have this savage custom, barbaric and unspeakable actions, which often give the foreigners the bad aspect about us. This ignoble custom has progressively altered the good orientation of many countries about us.
Imagine a married couple drinking helplessly around the streets of Cyprus. Have they no shame? Oh I shake my head in bafflement 'cos this is an ignoble custom, infamous, ignominious shaming our norms before the whole world.

Shame on those neglectful parents!!

What the fork is your problem? don't generalize because a few Nigerians mess up abroad, savage and barbaric customs my black arse, the report did say the man was 21 year olds, everyone know at that age we're entitled to a few life changing fork ups race, creed or where you come from has nothing to do with it, check social darwinism. . .I wonder what you would have said if the couple were white, I once read a story of a caucasian woman whose children were consuming dog feaces because she neglected them, shame on HER as a woman, i'm not going to conclude that just because she's white all white women are neglectful betches. . . it's pathetic how we Nigerians are quick to run ourselves down, if you can't defend your country leave her alone!!

i've heard a very similar case of a woman who locked her baby in a car and went partying all night just because she couldn't find a babysitter. if not that the woman was American and the child suffocated, i would have said it's the same story. child neglect has nationality some people should never have kids .

They are not mentally stable, such people should be sterilised to ensure no child they bear will ever experience such negligence!!

I hope this isn`t a case of the man pimping his wife. I have heard that it sometimes happens in Europe.
