Reports say the baby was rescued by a police officer who took him to the Testimony Orphanage Home, located opposite Uduaghan Park in Sapele.
Founder of the orphanage, Mrs Christiana Oboh told journalists that when the child was brought to the orphanage, she decided to take him to the hospital for proper medical check up.
She said it was discovered at the hospital that the child could barely sit or stand up.
The result of the test, she added, later proved that the child is having a rare spinal chord problem.
“This medical condition I believe was the reason why the parents gave up on the child and decided to dump him by the road side,” she conjectured.
Oboh said she later took the child to a tradomedical doctor, one Mr Emmanuel, whose office is located along Commercial Avenue, Sapele.
Mr Emmanuel, she confirmed, is an expert in bone related issues, adding that the doctor gave assurances that he could correct the abnormality in the child.
However, Mrs Oboh said she had deposited N15, 000 with the tradomedical expert to commence immediate treatment on the baby.
She solicits support from the general public for the boy just as she dropped her mobile contact for good-spirited people as 08030465846.
