A baby girl born by a house maid in Lagos State, western
Nigeria, has caused a fight between two women over who among them should take
custody of the baby.
The maid lived with a man, Oyekale Oladele and his wife
Ngozi, who have been seeking to have a baby for years to no avail.
Trouble started after Mrs Evelyn Njoku reportedly brought
the 15-year old mother of the baby to live with Oyekale Oladele and his wife
Ngozi, in Lagos and Oladele allegedly impregnated the maid.
Sources said that after she became pregnant, the couple did
not allow Mrs. Njoku to see her.
The pregnant maid was allegedly hidden by Ngozi and her
husband at FAAN staff quarters at Murtala Mohammed International Airport where
both families reside.
When Njoku later discovered that the girl was still in
Oladele’s flat, she was already heavily pregnant.
