Summary: The FCT Police Command has rescued two abandoned babies found in Kurudu and Gwagwalada areas of Abuja. Authorities are now appealing to the public for help in tracing the mothers of the infants.
In two heartbreaking incidents that have left many shaking their heads, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has rescued two innocent babies who were abandoned in different parts of Abuja — specifically in the Kurudu and Gwagwalada areas of the nation’s capital.
The Command confirmed the rescues through an official statement, revealing that both babies were found in separate incidents, raising serious concerns about the welfare of vulnerable infants across the FCT.
What Happened?
According to the FCT Police Command, the two babies were discovered abandoned in Kurudu and Gwagwalada — two densely populated communities in Abuja. While the full details surrounding each case are still being investigated, authorities have confirmed that the infants are currently safe and receiving care.
This kind of situation, sadly, is not entirely new in Nigeria, where social pressures, poverty, and stigma around unplanned pregnancies sometimes drive mothers — many of whom may themselves be in desperate situations — to make such painful decisions.
Police Appeal to the Public
The FCT Police Command is now calling on members of the public to come forward with any information that could help trace the biological mothers of both babies. Authorities are urging anyone with useful information to contact the nearest police station or reach out to the FCT Command directly.
It is worth noting that rather than approaching this purely as a criminal matter, the police may also be seeking to connect the mothers with appropriate support and counseling, recognizing that those who abandon their children are often vulnerable individuals in need of help themselves.
A Call for Compassion and Vigilance
This incident is a reminder that as a society, we all have a role to play. Whether it is supporting overwhelmed young mothers in our communities, speaking up when we notice someone in crisis, or simply showing empathy rather than judgment — every small action counts.
If you live in or around the Kurudu or Gwagwalada areas and have any information regarding either of these abandoned babies or their mothers, please do not hesitate to contact the FCT Police Command. Your tip could change lives.
