WARRI-A fourteen year old boy, Steven Orode has been allegedly abandoned by his mother at the Central Hospital in Warri,Delta State.
We gathered that Steven’s mother abandoned him under the guise of going to pick an item from the house since December 12,2017 after he was admitted into the hospital for “Severe Malaria and Cerebral Poxy”.
Daily Watch learnt that an unidentified lady who also came with the mother whose name is not known, later escaped from the hospital minutes after abandoning the boy.
The Public Relations Officer of the Hospital,Mrs. Success Obere confirmed the report to Our Warri,Delta State Correspondent saying,” We have called all the contacts to the mother but she did not pick.”
“We called another line but the person claimed no connection with the parents.”
“We reported at the “A” Division in Warri and the DPO assigned the Police Social Welfare to handle the case.”
Obere said the hospitals’ attempt to admit the fourteen year old boy into the orphanage homes in Warri but he was rejected because they see him(Steven Orode) as an abnormal child and a physically challenged person.
Obere stated that the hospital has made frantic efforts to reach the mother of the fourteen year old boy stressing that,”To no avail.”
Obere appealed to the Delta State Government to help the hospital in handling the situation well.
A Nurse handling the case, Mrs. Bridget Achugbue stated that the fourteen year old boy is being tactically managed by the help of one Ngozi and others in the hospital.
