The baby born in prison by an
18-year-old girl, Kemisola Ogunniyi, who was arrested during the End SARS
protest in Akure, has been christened on Wedneday.
The baby was christened at Ayedun
area of Akure, Ondo State capital with well-wishers trooping into Vera
Christian Assembly to witnessed the event despite the heavy downpour.
Some of the names given to the
baby boy include, Eriponmile, Oluwadamilare Elijah, Okikianu, Oluwanifemi son
of Temitope.
During the christening ceremony,
the wife of Ooni of Ife, Olori Naomi Ogunwusi, stormed the venue with her
entourage and offered the baby scholarship from primary to secondary school level.
Apart from the scholarship, Olori
Ogunwusi also presented the new baby and the mother who was shedding tears of
joy with food items, toiletries as well as other gifts.
According to the Ooni’s queen,
she was touched by the plight of the baby and the mother and decided to come
personally to witness the christening of the baby and give support to them.

in Olokuta Medium Prison in Akure had on Tuesday, granted bail to Kemisola
after spending eight months in the prison custody.
Kemisola who was granted N10
million bail was charged for arson, conspiracy, riotous assembly, stealing and
