The Lagos State Government placed Daniel, an indigene of Ayingba, Kogi State, on “temporary protective custody.”
Special adviser to the governor on civic engagement Princess Aderemi Adebowale had said the move became necessary in order to protect the physically challenged woman from abuse and risk.
The single mother was discovered weeks after she got into Lagos hawking bottled water in traffic in Oshodi area of the state.
Adebowale had also said the temporary shelter was provided pending when further plans would be concluded by the government to get Daniel an apartment and also empower her.
