About six months ago, Senator Shehu Sani adopted a baby he claimed was left abandoned in a refuse bin in Nasarawa State by unknown parents.
The baby was given the name “Jordan” and was taken to an orphanage.
According to Senator Sani, Jordan has turned age of six months, recently.
“The little Baby Boy, Jordan who was thrown and abandoned in a Refuse dump by his unknown parents is now 6 months old. Today (Tuesday) I visited the Orphanage”, he tweeted.
Upon reaching the age of six months, the child Jordan bore such a ‘strong resemblance’ to Mr. Sani that it caught the attention of Human Rights Activist Yele Sowore and numerous others, who reacted to the striking similarity between the two.
He writes: This is commendable Comrade Shehu Sani, I applaud you but take a step further bring this child home with you, an adopted child need not be left at the orphanage. And I must say this child looks very much like you. The Afro is the same. Shalom!”
Mr Sani has then denied the claim with another photo of the child saying “For those who said my adopted Baby Jordan looked like me, here is another photo in need of your comments.😂”
Other reactions:
Gani Mohammad Ajowa: “Adopted from a side-Chic or from an orphanage?
I just hope madam will not demand for a DNA test later.”
David Chyddy Eleke: “My exact thoughts. The boy looks very much like the senator. Apart from bringing him home, senator should stop referring to him as ‘picked from refuse dump’. Just refer to him as your adopted son.”
Ekeh Justices: “Mmmmmh. This is the only time I’m seeing adopted son resembling his adopted father.”
Maazi Uchenna Na Oketa: “Why keep him in the orphanage home when you’ve a home that can contain the entire community? 🙄😲”
Johnny Okungbowa: “Who adopts a child only to leave him at the orphanage? Nothing we no go see.”
