Getting My Abandoned Baby Back: Mariam Jimoh, a young mother, faced unimaginable hardship, leading her to consider abandoning her newborn. With no support from the child’s father, a tough living situation, and an employer unwilling to accommodate her needs, Mariam found herself in a desperate situation.

This conversation is based on a publication, P.M. News,Thursday, March 27, 1997  covers the case of a young woman named Mariam Jimoh who attempted to abandon her newborn baby. It explores the circumstances that led to this decision, including Mariam’s difficult living situation, her lack of support from the child’s father, and the refusal of her employer to accommodate her and her baby. The piece further highlights the involvement of various individuals who intervened, including a “Good Samaritan” who offered to care for both mother and child, and a group of lawyers who offered to represent the baby in court. Ultimately, the article concludes with the Chief Magistrate’s decision to discharge Mariam, recognising the extenuating circumstances and acknowledging the support system now in place for the mother and child.
