Adijat Adeleye, the state’s commissioner for women’s affairs and social development, claims the state has taken custody of an abandoned 2-day-old child at the state’s Yewa South Local Government Area’s Sayedero Market.
The woman who found the baby last week and gave it to the police later learned.
However, the woman claimed that the baby disappeared after the Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development intervened, urging “well-meaning members of the society to help me find the child” in two separate viral videos.
The commissioner responded to the video by stating that the baby was in good condition and that the ministry had given the baby proper custody after the police had obtained necessary documentation.
She claimed that the woman’s actions were an attempt to “emotionally blackmail the government and mislead the public” in an interview on Thursday in Abeokuta.
Ogun government denies renaming Tai Solarin University of Education.
The woman who found the baby’s alleged planned adoption was also rejected by the commissioner.
Because of the future, we don’t typically let those who are familiar with a baby’s history adopt him or her. In a setting where their stories are known, “we don’t put a child up for adoption,” she said.
Adeleye stated that Governor Dapo Abiodun, who was “the father of all rescued babies in the state up until adoption,” is now the parent.
The state government is the owner of any child found in Ogun State. Because they are all the children of the governor, the governor of the day is always the first name we use for them.
It has been there ever since Prince Dapo Abiodun’s arrival, not something that started with him. Some of the children have surnames Amosun (referring to former governor Ibikunle Amosun), while others have surnames Abiodun (depending on when they are discovered).
No orphanage or individual had the right to place a child up for adoption without the ministry’s approval, she claimed, despite state laid-down adoption rules and guidelines.
