From Charles Adegbite, Ado-Ekiti
A woman, simply identified as Mrs Ojo of Ikere-Ekiti, Ekiti State has been arrested by the police for allegedly dumping her day-old child in the bush. Also arrested by the police along with her was the husband, Mr Dada Ojo, a driver who claimed no involvement in the act, saying the woman did not tell him before carrying out the plan.
According to Mrs Ojo, she gave birth to a baby boy on Wednesday morning in her Ikere home after labouring for nearly an hour without anybody around to help her or a midwife to assist in delivering the baby. After considering the problems she would face in nursing the child without having reliable source of income and poor condition of her husband, she took the child to a nearby bush and dumped him there. Narrating why she committed the act, the 26-year-old woman said it was poverty that led her into the act, saying there was no money to take care of herself even when she was pregnant, so much that she could not register in any hospital for antenatal and post natal treatment.
She added that her major source of worry was how to take care of herself and the three children she already had for the man because her husband was poor. Mrs Ojo’s husband, however, said the woman was not hungry because he gave her money for food but that the woman was jobless since her petty business collapsed about three years ago. “But would food money be sufficient to buy under-wears, cream, regular hair-do, clothes and other things necessary for women to keep herself constantly attractive to her husband?” This was the question the husband of Mrs Ojo could not answer as he tried to exonerate himself.
While narrating his poverty level, he said he made between N500 and N1,000 daily from his driving job, out of which he would take care of himself, give his wife some money for the upkeep of the family, He said when he returned home from his commercial driving business on that fateful day and observed that she had given birth and asked her about the baby, she simply told him that the baby was dead.
On why she could not seek the assistance of her family members, Mrs Ojo said her poor parents were in the village and were not expecting her to add to their burden if she could not assist them. The couple, who looked haggard when journalists were interrogating them at the command headquarters, had been remanded in police custody.
Federal government should do something to assist the woman and her husband…. yes, we agreed that the woman committed a crime by dumping the God giving child… but i think looking unto her story, Government should let them go with their child and also ensure that they will assist the woman financially and create a job for him and her husband no matter how small or big the salary will be, so that the woman will be able to take care of the whole family……. But my question here is,,, why must the woman allow herself to be pregnant again by her husband knowing the condition of the family and after having two children…… they should have a family planing and take care of the ones they have already.
the babe is very sweet and i called him a blessing to his Generation and Nigeria as a Nation and he will be a helper to those around him as long as God allowed him to live and witness this day.
May God intervein in this case, pls, God!

i am not after this story but what i am after now is that despite the conditions of these family,just watch police will still ask them for bail out money before they will be released!!!!
Yorubas indeed seeking governments help to feed whereas OBJ,David Oyedepo and CO are there, If it’s an Igboman that committed this Atrocity and taboo,you will know the true colors of Nde ofe mmanu. If possible sef, David Oyedepo will slap her offffffffff
No matter the level of your poverty, I have the believe that there is somebody you are better than, so the excuse of been poor should not even come up at all. Mrs Dada, the question I want to ask you is, if your own mother had taken you to bush and abandoned you there, would you be alive today ? Infact, I am calling on the police to release the husband and hold her responsible for the offence.
THE BEST IS TO HELP THIS PEOPLE, WHAT IS 5OO A DAY AND NOT EVERYDAY,WE HAVE MANY PEOPLE FEEDIND DOGS AND PRIVATE JETS BUT TO HELP POOR NO.POLICE, WHY ARESTING THE HUSBAND, YOU WANT TO GREATE MORE PROBLEM FOR THEM. PLEASE LET THEM GO.
Instead of sending the poor woman and her child to hospital, she is kept in police custody where any reckless policeman can easily prey on her. We all know her crime, and the only way to be forgiven is by helping in raising her children with decent life not locking the couple behind bar. Poverty and corruption are identical twins one complements others

this story has really shocked me. i cant believe that there is any level of poverty that can make a woman throw away her own child after nine months of pregnancy. it is unjustifiable. this indeed is a sign of end time.
my parents were so poor that when my mum had our last born we used to go into the bush, pick kernel, crack and sell them same day just to give her night food, as we couldnt feed her more than once a day.today the story has changed, that last born is 22 and a jambite. and we are nine in number.
mothers can go any length to preserve their children. but Its a wonder that the yorubas who are good in saying nonsense about the ibos are so calous that they can eat up their own children. WITCHES!
May God deliver the poor from the man made sufferings of the Nigerian people. The woman is heartless by dumping the child she carried for nine months for unreasonable reason of trying to preserve herself for her husband’s attraction, she is so cruel by having the heart to dump the child she laboured and give birth to in the bush. The government as a matter of urgency, should rehabilitate the poverty ravaged woman and her husband permanently and also make them feel belonged.
