The police public relations officer (PPRO) in the FCT, Josephine Adeh has fingered men’s neglect as the reason for the increasing number of abandoned babies in the capital city.
Adeh via the microblogging platform, X on Sunday bemoaned the issue, in which she described as “alarming”.
Attributing the cause to “men who abandon women after getting them pregnant”, Adeh further advised men who are not ready for the responsibility of fatherhood to either avoid unprotected sex or abstain totally.
“The increasing number of abandoned babies in the FCT is alarming. Just yesterday, two new cases were reported. This troubling trend is largely due to men abandoning women after impregnating them. If you are not prepared to take responsibility for fatherhood, avoid unprotected sex or abstain from it,” she wrote.
