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

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

Speaking to Legit.ng, 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."

Ellah appealed for support for the father and his child. He confirmed to Legit.ng that he gave the man a token.

Mechanic's wife has mental health challenges

Legit.ng asked Ellah if the mechanic mentioned while his wife left him, and he said the woman had mental health challenges.

Ellah said:

"He didn't mention it the day I wrote a story on him and I didn't ask him. I only asked him the next day, when I went to give him the money I got on the baby's behalf. He explained that the baby's mom has mental health challenges. According to him, he has been making efforts to get her back to Calabar for admission at the psychiatric hospital."
