This Little boy was abandoned inside a carton in a gutter at yaba on Christmas Day

The little boy pictured above was this evening abandoned in a carton dropped in a gutter at the Yaba area of Lagos. Twitter user @facialdisoder shared the pictures online.

According to another eyewitness:

“This boy of about a year old was put in a box and dumped in the gutter on Alara street in yaba today 25th december, 2016.


He was found by the opc vigilante group on patrol crawling out of the gutter. He hasnt started talking and so no information was got from him, we dont know if he is yoruba, hausa or ibo.
In the picture is the carton he was put, a bunch of bananas and a wrapper. He has since been taken to sabo police station by residents of the area.
May God almighty forgive whoever did this to this innocent soul! I am here trying to imagine what the parent would say to people who knew him!”
