#OBSCURELEGALFACTS BY AROME ABU
In Nigeria, where the parent of a child abandons or deserts that child or allows the child to be brought up by another person at the expense of that other person for a long period of time, no court shall make an order for the child to be delivered to the parents, except the court is satisfied that the parent is fit and proper to have custody of the child.
See Section 72 of the Child Rights Act.
