Osun Gov’t Finds 5-year-old girl is Abandoned Beside River, Seeks Help in Locating the Parents

Falade appealed to members of the public to assist in locating the parents of the abandoned child or any of the relatives.

A five-year-old girl abandoned by a river has been found by officials of the Osun state government.

A statement issued by the Coordinating Director, Ministry of Women, Children and Social Affairs on Monday, Jide Falade, disclosed that the girl was found on September 29 and was reported to the ministry by a good samaritan.

It added that efforts by police and officials of the Ministry to locate the girl’s parents yielded no result

Falade therefore appealed to members of the public to assist in locating the parents of the abandoned child or any of the relatives.

He said, “Nothing else is going on other than an attempt to split Afenifere, to which I will not be a party. It is a sort of conspiracy among those who want to see Afenifere divided.”

Reacting to the allegation that his principal’s visit was the reason for the group’s crisis, Keyamo said there was no iota of truth in the report.

Speaking in an exclusive report with our correspondent, the Minister of State for Labour said, “The real reason for Afenifere’s wrangling is Pa Adebanjo, who rushed to endorse a candidate without proper consultation in the organisation to which he belongs.
