A woman has ignited intense online discussion after describing a strange encounter she experienced while riding in a commercial tricycle (keke), involving another female passenger and her child.
She explained that she voluntarily assisted the fellow traveler by holding the baby on her lap to ease the journey, never anticipating the bizarre turn of events that followed.
Recounting the moment, she said, “I helped the woman hold her child in the keke, but when it was time to disembark she refused to acknowledge the baby, insisting it was mine.”
How the unexpected incident unfolded
The shocking statement left bystanders bewildered as the mother denied any connection to the child, claiming the lady who had been carrying the infant was its true parent.
Although the narrator did not reveal the location of the incident or describe how it was ultimately settled, her story quickly spread across social platforms due to its peculiar nature.
Many spectators expressed disbelief, while others warned that the episode highlights the need for caution when offering help to strangers in public spaces.
Social media users react
The discussion continues to generate varied reactions online, with numerous users questioning why anyone would repudiate their own offspring, and others hypothesizing about possible motives behind the woman’s alleged conduct.
Several commentators expressed sympathy for the lady, labeling the ordeal alarming and unforeseen, while others urged Nigerians to stay alert in communal areas, even when extending goodwill to unknown individuals, as the conversation persists on various social networks.
