Nigeria Woman Left Two Kids
Home Alone And Flew To Nigeria
For 3 Weeks To Attend Wedding
A mother left her two children at home without
food or heat while she went on a three-week trip
abroad.
The youngsters one aged 10 and 13, were left to
fend for themselves while their mother attended a
family wedding in Nigeria.
It is understood they had continued to go to
school while she was away but when officers
visited the home, they found the house was in an
unkempt condition while the children had no food
or heating.
The mother, who lives in Salford in Greater
Manchester, has since been arrested on suspicion
of child neglect and her children were taken into
care.
Police said she had left the family home on
January 28 to fly out to the wedding and had
intended to stay out of the country until next
week.
But she flew back to the UK early on Wednesday
after being alerted that the authorities were
investigating. The woman was arrested at
London's Heathrow Airport and questioned before
being bailed.
A Greater Manchester Police spokesperson said:
'A woman has been arrested on suspicion of child
neglect.
'She was arrested at Heathrow Airport on February
11, 2015 and bailed until March 19, 2015.
'Her two children are now in the care of the local
authority.'
A Salford Council spokesperson confirmed the
children had now been placed with a foster
parent. culled
