    After two years of taking care of vulnerable and abandoned children, the management of Peculiar Saints Orphanage led by Mrs Olamide Turner has decided to expand its operations.

    The permanent site, we gathered, has a sick bay; all the rooms are en-suite so that they can include people with disabilities and challenging behaviour.

    Since it commenced operation in 2012, 28 children have passed through Peculiar Saints Orphanage and about 10 children have been adopted by homes in Nigeria and abroad through the Ministry of Youths and Social Development.
