* Don’t Come Home Without My Son, Distressed Father
Pleads
A Nigerian man, Ayo Bakre has raised an alarm over the curious
illegal detention and absurd adoption of his young son in the
United Kingdom.
According to Bakre, the issue started in 2012 when his wife,
Shade traveled to London with their son Monisola, who was less than
one year old then. Since their departure five years ago, the story
has taken bizarre turns in what ended in an unjust, if illegal
‘adoption by the UK government’ under the pretext that the mother
could not take care of the child. Now the UK government is about to
report the mother to Nigeria but without her child.
Ayo Bakre who has two other children with Shade (Moyosore and
Morolayo), told this medium that “Sade had traveled to London on
holiday in 2012 with Monisola who was less than 12 months then.
While in London, Monisola got injured and was taken to an hospital
for treatment but the social workers claimed the degree of the
injury is non-accidental. Because of this, the mother was charged
to court for attempted murder, child trafficking, etc. but she was
subsequently cleared of this by the court in Bromley.
“However, the judge says she cannot release the boy to her on
the ground that in the opinion of the court, she cannot take care
of the boy. After a long legal battle, our son was adopted by a
court decision.
Moyosore and
Morolayo Bakre and their father
“As a father, this does not go down well with me and I have told
the mother not to make any attempt to return to Nigeria without
bringing my child. I don’t understand this decision in anyway. We
have never declared to court in any manner that we cannot take care
of our son. I am saying it loud and clear regardless of the
consequences that my son Monisola must be brought back home. The
mother dares not come back home without bringing Monisola.
” I have appealed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a letter
dated 17th of August, 2015 to help me in this unfortunate situation
I found myself but I am yet to get any response. His siblings at
home keep disturbing me almost on a daily basis that they want to
see their brother but each time they say they want to talk to their
brother, confusion always sets in.”
The case leaves many questions unanswered as Shade’s family has
threatened to report Ade to the police for insisting that the
mother must return only with Monisola, his son. This has raised the
question of whether the boy was actually adopted or if any shady
dealings are playing out
“I don’t care if my wife’s family reports to police because they
threatened to do so when I told them their daughter dares not
return home, if my son is not released. I am not about the story in
UK; all I want is Monisola must be brought back or else the
consequence for Shade might be too severe”, Bakre said.
