- The baby, named Blessing, was seen in a photo shared online by Cornelius Ella, who told Legit.ng that he was moved by the man's plight
A man has resorted to caring for his baby at his workplace because his wife is not available to babysit the child.
The man is a car mechanic, and he usually takes the baby to the workshop where the child sits and her father works.
The mechanic, named James Emina, works in Calabar and accused his wife of running away and abandoning him and the baby.
The baby is named Blessing, and she is said to be seven months old.
The touching story was shared on Facebook by Cornelius Ella, the Head of Department of Mass Communication, University of Cross River State (UNICROS).
Speaking to Legit.ng, Ella said he had gone to the mechanic workshop to fix his car when he noticed the baby and he decided to ask questions.
He said:
"I got to the mechanic's workshop quite early, before the arrival of my mechanic and other mechanics at the workshop. I got there around 8.30 am. That was when I saw the mechanic and his baby. I didn't ask him any questions because I felt that the baby may not be there for long. Moreover, I felt that someone else would join him to assist in taking care of the baby."I left my car there and went to my office because my mechanic told me that it may take several hours to work on the car. When I went back to the workshop around 5pm, I noticed that the baby was still there. That was when I got more concerned about the baby and asked a few questions and got answers that prompted me to write a Facebook post and appeal for support for the baby."Ella had appealed for support for the father and his child. He confirmed to Legit.ng that he gave the man a token.
