A baby which was reportedly abandoned by its mother at the Lagos-Abeokuta expressway recently, has been picked up by some well meaning Nigerians.

According to a Facebook user identified as Emmanuel Jolly, who shared the story on his Facebook page, the baby was found by the Lagos-Abeokuta expressway, on the morning of January 7.

The mother was nowhere in sight by the time some kindhearted people came to the baby’s rescue, picking him up and wrapping him up in a duvet

Why would a mother do this?
