“Where were you 7 years ago?”

An elderly Nigerian woman is refusing to release her grandchild, whom she has cared for since being abandoned by the child’s mother 7 years ago.

The situation came to light through a viral video in which the grandmother passionately articulated her reasons for keeping custody of the child.

According to the video, the elderly woman recounted the tragic story of how her deceased son and his wife had welcomed their baby seven years ago.

In a shocking turn of events, the grandmother claimed that her son’s wife abruptly left, informing her that she needed to step out momentarily and never returning. This left the grandmother as the sole caregiver for the abandoned child.

The video captured the elderly woman’s emotional plea, as she expressed how she had spent years tirelessly raising the young boy, becoming his pillar of support and his only remaining family after the loss of her son and husband.

As tears welled in her eyes, she articulated her conviction that she couldn’t part with her grandson under any circumstances.

The grandmother’s stance has intensified due to recent developments. The child’s long-lost mother has reappeared, expressing her desire to regain custody of her son.

The mother, who has since remarried and is reportedly in search of a child, now seeks to reclaim her abandoned child, stirring a heated conflict between her and the grandmother.
