Former Big Brother Naija housemate Uriel Oputa is being hailed as a hero after she publicly offered to adopt a baby girl who was discovered abandoned by the riverside in Kogi State.
The emotional story took off after a viral video showed the infant—wrapped in a blanket with a few belongings—crying near the Niger Bridge in Ajaokuta.
