On the NHRC carrying out a possible psychological evaluation on the children& #39;s mother, Mr Babalola Adebayo said that it goes beyond this as she& #39;s dealing with more of external factors than internal factors.

@NhrcNigeria believes there is need for an urgent intervention in this case as it will help the mother to stabilize & take good care of her children.
