The government of Enugu State has traced the three kids dumped at Ogui Police State in Enugu by a woman who later ran into a moving vehicle and was crushed to death.

Allnews.ng learnt that the wife of the Governor, who rushed to the police station after learning about the incident, was told that the woman might have suffered depression which led to her death.

The deceased whose name is yet to be known was said to have dumped her three kids at Ogui Police Station on Wednesday and consciously ran into a moving vehicle which crushed her to death.

The First Lady, who was said to have been touched by the development, promised to take care of the children and train them from nursery school to university level. She announced that sponsorship for the children would be undertaken by her Custos Care Foundation (CCF).

Mrs Mbah also directed for immediate relocation of the children from the police station to a home, where the Enugu government would take care of them. She urged people who suffer from depression to seek counselling rather than taking rash decisions.
