The International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) in Rivers State says it rescues a two-week-old infant abandoned at a shrine in Abua. According to reports, the child was found left at the shrine site, prompting the intervention by FIDA’s Rivers State branch. After the discovery, FIDA officials take steps to retrieve the infant and ensure the baby receives care following the abandonment.
The reports describe the incident as an abandonment case involving a newborn left at a religious location, with community attention leading to the involvement of the legal aid and women’s rights organization. FIDA’s actions are presented as immediate relief for the child, though the articles do not provide further details on subsequent custody arrangements, investigations, or the child’s identity.
Overall, the sources agree on the key elements: the location in Abua, Rivers State; the abandonment of the infant at a shrine; the infant’s approximate age of two weeks; and FIDA Rivers State’s role in rescuing the child and bringing it under its care.
