A woman, Comfort Alaba, a resident in Piwoyi in the Airport Road area of the Federal Capital Territory, has been arrested by the police for attempting to kill her one-year-old son, The PUNCH reports.
Our correspondent gathered that the attempted filicide occurred on Monday, January 2, but the toddler was rescued by a male neighbour before the intervention of the police following a distress call.
A source said, “The woman could have killed the baby if not for the intervention of a neighbour, Musbau Azeez, before the police were later called upon by another good Samaritan, Oluwaseyi Akingbenro.” Akingbero had contacted a police division in the Lugbe area of the FCT at about 10:30 pm informing them that Comfort had attempted killing her child, Michael, after she slammed the baby on the ground but was rescued by Azeez.
