This lady who is a destitute and mentally retarded stays
opposite a Chinese office beside the National Theatre Iganmu Lagos..She has
been living in the open with her child for months without any shelter nor
care..Come rain, come shine she remains at that spot picking dirt with which
she feeds herself and her child..The situation got worse some weeks ago when it
was noticed that she has become pregnant..It cannot be ascertained how she came
about her pregnancy, but from all indication it’s obvious that some unscrupulous
elements have been taken advantage of her situation to sleep with her in the
wee hours of the night..It is our belief that she could have been raped several
times since she is not in the right frame of mind to engage in sexual
relationship..CKN Nigeria is using this opportunity to call on the Lagos State
Government,NGOs and other relevant government agencies to do something urgently
to save the woman, her child and unborn kid from further hardship..These pictures were taken this raining morning..CKN.jpg)
