BBNaija’s Uriel Oputa offers to adopt baby abandoned by riverside
Former Big Brother Naija housemate Uriel Oputa has offered to adopt a baby who was abandoned by a riverside in Kogi State.
A resident of the Ajaokuta area, Omera Ugbede Opaluwa, posted a video of a baby girl found crying near the Niger Bridge by a community leader.
The leader reported that some baby clothes, a wrapper, and other items were discovered at the scene.
He mentioned that the community would notify local government authorities and care for the baby until they could identify the mother.
In response to a blog that shared the video, Uriel expressed her desire to adopt the child. She promised to provide excellent care for the baby, stating, “Please let me have her. She will never go hungry.”
It remains unclear whether the reality star has contacted the relevant authorities to initiate the adoption process.
In 2023, Uriel opened up about her struggle with amenorrhea, which lasted for four years. Amenorrhea is the medical term for the absence of menstruation during the reproductive years, between puberty and menopause.
The 36-year-old singer described this health challenge as “the lowest point” of her life, emphasizing that doctors had told her she might never be able to have a child.
