Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps, popularly known as Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI), rescued a mother and her five-month-old daughter from a canal at Abule-Ado, situated along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway. The rescue operation took place on Wednesday during their routine clearance task in the area. The agency's spokesperson, Lukman Ajayi, disclosed this during a phone conversation, stating that the operatives noticed the mother and infant inside the canal and felt alarmed.
When questioned, the woman could not explain why they were present at the location and admitted that she was running away from her husband, who resides in FESTAC, though she could not provide a clear reason for their journey to the canal. The infant was found in a poor health condition, leading the KAI operatives to immediately provide medical assistance to both the mother and the child. They were subsequently taken to a nearby hospital for further care.
