Elderly woman insists she will not return her grandson to his mother who left him at six months old

An elderly Nigerian woman has insisted that she will not give her grandson to his mother after she left him with her for seven years without checking up on him or being responsible for his welfare.

In the video that has now gone viral, it was revealed that the said mother returned to claim back her son and take him away from the grandmother after leaving him with her at six months old without any prior notice.

The elderly woman in her statement said her deceased son and his wife welcomed their baby seven years ago. She claimed that one day, her son’s wife told her she wanted to get something outside and that was the last she saw of her, leaving her baby behind.

She stated that after years of single-handedly taking care of the boy, his mum has just returned and wants to take him away. She said she has lost her son and also her husband and that the boy is the only family she has, so she cannot for any reason return him.

In her words “I have lost my only son and my husband and my grandson is now my only companion, so I cannot release him to her.”

She said her grandson’s mum has remarried and is searching for a child and now wants to take her grandson from her.
