Narrating what happened, a resident who spoke anonymously said, “on Tuesday, February 25, at about 5:30p.m., we found two women at Badore area of Ajah with two babies. What actually drew people’s attention was the continuous cries of the babies.
“My shop is in the locality. I noticed that as the babies were crying relentlessly, the women seemed confused as to how to handle them.
“I had hoped to see the women breastfeed the babies as mothers often do when their babies cry in that manner, but their inability to calm the babies made me suspect that they were not their biological mothers.
“So I alerted some people in the community, who called the police. Luckily the police arrived on time.”
Spokesperson, Lagos State Police Command, DSP Bala Elkana, confirmed the story and said that investigation was still in progress.
