Woman found with a dead 5-year old boy in Lagos

Policemen saved a strange woman from the wrath of a mob at Mile-Two, along Oshodi/Apapa expressway.

The woman was found with a dead five year old boy.

However, the mob had almost beaten life out of the lady who gave her name as Florence, suspecting she kidnapped and killed the child for rituals.

Read what the she said when intervied by the press:

“I am from Umo in Kwale area of Delta State. I was born in Lagos and I have three children. Nothing is wrong with me. This child (pointing to the dead child) is my son. He is the last of my three children. I have a boy and a girl who are in the village. His name is Chidi and he is five years old.

“He has been very sick. In fact, he had fever and needed blood transfusion but I couldn’t afford the money for it. He died three days ago. Before he died, we wanted to travel back to the village. My husband stays in Port Harcourt.”

When asked to give his husband’s telephone number she said: 

“The paper where I wrote his number has been destroyed by rain. I don’t have any relative in Lagos. I was living under a staircase in one of the shops located in Alaba market. A security man allowed my son and I to sleep there at night. I didn’t steal any baby neither did I kill any child.

“I was carrying Chidi on my back after he died, only for people to gather around me this morning and started beating me. What have I done to deserve this kind of beating? If not for these policemen, they would have beaten me to death.”
