The Lagos State Police Command has rescued one abandoned day old boy on Monday 15th March, 2021 at about 1030pm.

The baby was found at Oladejo Street, Oko Oba Lagos on Monday at 1020pm, according to a statement signed by Police Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi.

The kind hearted fellow, who found the baby, promptly informed the police operatives attached to Abattoir Division of the command who quickly mobilised to the scene and picked up the baby for necessary medical attention and safety.

The Commissioner of Police Lagos State, CP Hakeem Odumosu on Tuesday received the baby in his ikeja office and ordered the Gender Unit of the command to hand over the baby to the Child Protection Unit of the Ministry of Youth and Social Development of Lagos State. The unit has taken custody of the rescued baby.

The police boss also urged women, especially young ladies, to desist from this callous act which must be unequivocally condemned by all and sundry in the state and Nigeria at large.

The Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday, dismissed a case filed by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), against suspended DCP Abba Kyari on allegations bordering on non-disclosure of assets.

Justice James Omotosho dismissed the suit, filed against Kyari and his younger brothers, Mohammed Kyari and Ali Kyari, for failure of the anti-narcotic agency to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt.

The judge held that the burden of proving a case beyond reasonable doubt falls in the prosecution which it had failed to do so.

The ruling covers only asset declaration allegations. Other cases including drug related offences are still ongoing.
