Though the woman, who gave her name as Florence,
claimed that the dead child was hers, the mob said she could have kidnapped and
killed the child for money ritual.
When Newsman arrived the scene yesterday, the dead
child was seen lying by the side of the expressway, with Florence by his side.
Two Ghana-must-go-bags were found by her side.
Inside the bags were beverages, detergents and
assorted clothes.
Though news making the round earlier had it that the
child’s eyes were plucked, but we discovered that the eyeballs were only
popped.
Information gathered revealed that the woman had
been sighted in the area with the child strapped at her back for three days.
An onlooker said: “One man in a commercial bus
alerted us yesterday that the child strapped at the back was motionless. This
attracted some curious passengers of commercial buses that were trapped in this
unending gridlock. One of the passengers went close to the woman and shook the
baby. Before you knew it, people had gathered around the woman, wanting to set
her ablaze. But for the timely arrival of policemen attached to the Rapid
Response Squad she would have been dead by now.”
When Newmen approached the woman, she said: “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.”
Asked what her mission in Lagos was, she said she
came to take care of him here. Some people were of the opinion that she was
insane but the Police said that would be ascertained in the course of
investigation.
