"I am an orphan. I don't know my parents. I was surprised and crying and I secretly want to run away to my friend's house and be going to school.
"I don't have siblings and I'm all alone. God please locate my parents to me. Please I have suffered. I know you are not my biological mum and he is not my biological dad."

Reacting to the story, an elderly Nigerian grandmother, Mama Jazz, condemned the parents' actions while speaking to Legit.ng.

In her words:

"I do not fancy this treatment. It took a long while before I could get close to my daughter and relate with her better during her older years because of the years I handled her with so much strictness."
