In a recent video post on Facebook, on Thursday, April 2, 2026, Chibuzor Gift Chinyere, a prominent Nigerian pastor, revealed the moving story behind how he became the father of a young boy named Aboy, who has autism.
In a heartfelt account, he recounted how the child was abandoned at his gate, sparking a chain of events that ultimately led to him taking responsibility for the boy’s care.
Chinyere explained that upon discovering the child, his first instinct was to involve the authorities to ensure proper care.
He invited the police to the scene and arranged for Aboy to be taken to a motherless home, hoping he would receive the support and safety every child deserves.
However, to his surprise and dismay, the home rejected the boy, leaving no alternative for his care.
Faced with this reality, Chinyere made the deeply compassionate decision to take Aboy into his own home.
He emphasized that the choice was not made lightly, but out of a sense of duty and love for a vulnerable child.
By stepping forward, he ensured that Aboy would have a safe environment, access to necessary care, and a chance at a stable upbringing despite his special needs.
The cleric’s revelation highlights the struggles and barriers that abandoned and autistic children face in Nigeria, particularly when institutions fail to provide adequate support.
“He was abandoned at my gate, and I invited the police, we took him to a motherless home but they rejected him, so I took him,” Chinyere said, recounting the beginning of his journey as Aboy’s father.
His story has since inspired many, drawing attention to issues of child abandonment, autism awareness, and the extraordinary role of compassion in shaping lives…..See More
