The Lagos State Police Command, on Thursday, rescued three infants who were locked up in a room by their grandmother in the Agodo-Egbe, Ikotun area of Lagos State.<\/p>\n
The command spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, said the grandmother, identified as Fatimo Ganiyu, had been arrested.<\/p>\n
The reason for the grandmother\u2019s action was undisclosed, but the children: a girl and two boys between two and four years old, looked malnourished and were said to be wearing only diapers when rescued.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cAt about 4:00 pm, information was received at Ikotun Division that three children, a girl and two boys aged between two and four years, were locked up by their grandmother, one Fatimo Ganiyu, around Agodo, Egbe-Ikotun.<\/p>\n
\u201dThe Divisional Police Officer immediately led a team of anti-crime detectives to the scene and the children were rescued and taken to the station, although they appeared malnourished and unhealthy.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe suspect was arrested while the infants will be transferred for proper treatment and care. Investigation is ongoing.\u201d<\/p>\n
