The baby is named Blessing and is said to be seven months old.

The touching story was shared on Facebook by Cornelius Ellah, the Head of the Department of Mass Communication, University of Cross River State (UNICROS).

Cornelius Ellah said he had gone to the mechanic's workshop to have his car fixed when he noticed the baby and decided to ask questions.

He stated:

"I got to the mechanic's workshop quite early, before the arrival of my mechanic and other mechanics at the workshop. I got there around 8.30 am. That was when I saw the mechanic and his baby. I didn't ask him any questions because I felt that the baby may not be there for long. Moreover, I felt that someone else would join him to assist in taking care of the baby.

"I left my car there and went to my office because my mechanic told me that it may take several hours to work on the car. When I went back to the workshop around 5pm, I noticed that the baby was still there. That was when I got more concerned about the baby and asked a few questions and got answers that prompted me to write a Facebook post and appeal for support for the baby."
