Police raise concerns over rising cases of abandoned babies in Abuja
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) police command has decried the rising number of abandoned babies in the territory.
In a post via X handle on Sunday, the command’s Public Relations Officer, Josephine Adeh, said two new cases were reported on Saturday, adding that the trend is largely due to men abandoning women after impregnating them.
The spokesperson therefore urged men not ready to become fathers to avoid unprotected sex or abstain from it.
“The increasing number of abandoned babies in the FCT is alarming. Just yesterday, two new cases were reported. This troubling trend is largely due to men abandoning women after impregnating them.
“If you are not prepared to take responsibility for fatherhood, avoid unprotected sex or abstain from it,” Mrs Adeh wrote.
