The woman, identified simply as “Sister Esther”, gave birth to the baby on Adisa Akintoye Street in the Ketu area of the state.
She was said to have been assisted with the delivery by a number of concerned women who also took care of some of the after birth rituals.
LIB reports:
The eye witness said after the delivery instead of taking the baby to a nearby health centre, they took the new born to the palace of the King of Ketu that is on the same street the destitute delivered but the King did not attend to them.
The people then took the baby to Tipper Garage (bus stop) where sister Esther usually sleeps, in front (outside) of Sweet Sensation at Tipper Garage.
