A distress call was made to the police and the baby was retrieved from the scene at about 10:30 p.m., the police said.

Following the rescue operation, Mr Adejobi, a Chief Superintendent of Police, said the Commissioner expressed his intention to start processes of adopting the “handsome looking boy.”
