A Nigerian man has taken to Twitter to narrate how he had saved a newborn baby abandoned by the road-side.
The man identified as Adegoke Matthew (@Matoosa) said he had just returned from the hospital where his wife had just put to bed when he was alerted that a baby was dumped somewhere. He rushed there and met a small crowd taking photos of the abandoned baby. He said he quickly took the child to the hospital for medical attention.
He wrote:
”Today, around 7:00am, just got back home after I slept at d Hospital with my pregnant sick Wife. A Friend called dat there’s an abandoned Child shivering in my Community as d Secretary & Youth Chairman. When I got dere, people were busy taking pictures.
I was so furious & d next thing I could do was calling on a bike Man & took d bouncing baby Boy to d nearest government Health Care Centre for treatment & d likes. Kudos to the Matron & d Health Workers as dey acted very fast in reviving d Child.”
