KAI rescues four nursing mothers, babies from Lagos dumpsite

The Lagos Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC), also known as KAI, has successfully rescued four nursing mothers and their babies from an illegal dumpsite in Agboju, Lagos. The rescue operation took place during an ongoing inter-agency cleanup of the Lagos-Badagry Expressway corridor. The four women, identified as Fareedat Muyideen, Ayomide Ayomoke, Amanda Oziema Abalihi, and Chisom Ugo, were found living in inhumane conditions among refuse heaps and shanties.

The LAGESC's Corps Marshal, Major Olaniyi Cole, emphasized the importance of the rescue to prevent potential loss of life due to the poor living conditions. He also appealed to the families of the rescued women to come forward and assured that they were receiving medical attention and would be discharged once medically fit. The LAGESC is collaborating with other agencies to ensure the women's rehabilitation and reintegration into society, while also reiterating the state government's stance against child abuse.
