Former Big Brother Naija housemate Uriel Oputa has offered to adopt a baby who was abandoned by the riverside in Kogi State.
A resident of the Ajaokuta area of Kogi State, Omera Ugbede Opaluwa, posted a video of a baby girl who was reportedly found crying near the Niger Bridge by a community leader.
The leader mentioned that some baby clothes, a wrapper, and other items were also found at the scene.
He added that the community would notify the local government authorities and care for the baby until they could identify the mother.
Reacting in the comments section of a blog that shared the video, Uriel offered to adopt the child.
She pledged to provide excellent care for the baby if allowed to adopt her, writing, “Please let me have her. She will never go hungry.”
It remains unclear whether the reality star has contacted the relevant authorities to begin the adoption process.
