Barely two weeks after operatives of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps, also known as KAI, rescued four nursing mothers and their children from a dumpsite along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, another five-month-old baby girl and her mother have been rescued from a canal along the same expressway.
PUNCH Metro gathered in a telephone conversation with the spokesperson for the agency, Lukman Ajayi, on Wednesday that the operatives found the duo while carrying out routine clearance operations in the Abule-Ado area of the expressway.
According to Ajayi, the mother could not explain the circumstances that brought them to the canal, while the child was found in a poor state of health.
He noted that the operatives, who were concerned about the safety of both mother and daughter, immediately rescued them and took them to a nearby hospital for medical treatment.
