Punch Metro gathered that the police trailed the 23-year-old mother to Ojuelegba, where the son claimed they lived, without success.

It was learnt that she was eventually traced to a residence on Sule Babalola Street, Agbado.

The mother, who admitted her action was wrong, said she was frustrated, describing her son as being troublesome.

She said, “I have realised that I over-reacted. Kingsley is very stubborn and troublesome. He won’t sit at home. He will be jumping from one house to another. I was frustrated. I promise it will never happen again. I have learnt my lesson.”

A police source told Punch Metro that Blessing wept all night in custody. The source said Kingsley had also been counselled to turn a new leaf.

The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Kenneth Nwosu, said Blessing was still under interrogation and would be charged to court afterwards.
He said, “This is a case of child abuse. The 23-year-old mother was arrested on Sule Babalola Street, Agbado. The boy was abandoned in a bad condition. He was treated at the Lagos State General Hospital, Ile Epo. The mother is under interrogation.”

That woman should be made to sign an undertaking restraining her from mal-handling that chap anymore and there should be consistent follow-up to see to the enforcement of that law.

Hmm, discipline or abuse? A question for nigerians

you have a point

Can I adopt him please? . He will never be abandoned, no matter what he does. A father abandoning his child, I can reluctantly consider. But a mother? Hmmmmm. That boy should be taken off her care.

But not to the extent of abandoning them in a strange environment.
