“The girl slept on a table outside overnight after her mother died,” Abiodun wrote, adding: “We met her on that table this afternoon groaning in pains. She’s just 3-years-old.”

She added that “when the Lagos State Government officials came for the mother’s corpse and they were told to take the child, they declined and said they were not sent there for the child.”

It was then left to members of the public to take the girl to the hospital. When they arrived at the hospital, Abiodun said they asked for money before treatment could be administered.

“Social services asked me to pay for the test and treatments for the girl with the burns if not she won’t be attended to.”

This morning, Abiodun gave an update. She said Boluwatife is responding to treatment.

In a related development, Lagos lightning kills woman, her child “left to die”.

Tony Ojukwu, the Executive Secretary, National Human Rights Commission, confirmed this on Monday.

He said the child was rushed to the hospital after he was “left to die” by the people in the community.

Ojukwu said: “The child who was struck by thunder has a sibling too. The mother of the child struck by thunder was also struck and she died.

“The child is currently receiving treatment at the hospital.”
