Abandoned one-day-old baby rescued in Niger state
Residents rescued an deserted one-day-old baby in the Tayi space of Minna, the capital of Niger State.
Residents mentioned the baby was discovered simply hours after being deserted by a stranger on the night time of Saturday, December 2, 2023.
One of the residents, Aliyu Bala Ibrahim, mentioned the baby was wrapped in leather-based and left with out garments.
“This child (probably a few hours old) was found abandoned just a few meters from my house here in Tayi, Minna, Niger State. The child was wrapped in leather and left without clothes,” he said.
“The ants started crawling on him before he was found. This is the most tragic scene I have ever seen in my life. A capital punishment should be introduced against people who do this,”
“The umbilical cord is still attached to the baby. I think he was born a few hours ago. They didn’t even bathe him. They just washed the blood off his body and threw it away.”
