The Lagos State Police Command rescues three malnourished infants locked up by their grandmother.

The Lagos State Police Command sprang into action on Thursday, responding to distressing reports from the Agodo-Egbe area of Ikotun. Their prompt intervention led to the rescue of three helpless infants who were discovered locked up in a room by their own grandmother, later identified as Fatimo Ganiyu.

Upon arrival at the scene, law enforcement officials found the children—two boys and a girl, aged between two and four years—looking malnourished and dressed in nothing but diapers. The reason behind the grandmother’s alarming action remains undisclosed.

SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the spokesperson for the command, confirmed the arrest of Fatimo Ganiyu and the subsequent rescue of the children. The authorities wasted no time in taking the infants to safety, transporting them to the station for immediate care and attention. Despite their unfortunate state, they are now under the watchful eye of medical professionals who will ensure they receive the necessary treatment.

Investigations into the incident are ongoing, as the police work to uncover the circumstances surrounding this troubling case. Meanwhile, the Lagos State Police Command emphasizes its commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of all residents, particularly the most vulnerable members of society.
