A newborn baby was on Wednesday found at a refuse dump in Ebonyi State and residents have moved to call on relevant authorities to evacuate the infant’s remains.

The baby was allegedly found in a sack at Igweogbuofia Street, Kpirikpiri in Abakaliki metropolis of the state..

Speaking to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abakaliki, one of the residents in the area, Mrs Chinwe Madu, alleged that the act was not committed in the area.

The resident said she suspects a member of the public must have committed the act elsewhere and dumped the body in the street to avoid being identified.

“This evil was not committed in this area rather the perpetrator chose to dump the baby’s body here to cover up his or her act,” Madu said.

Another resident, Mrs Ogechi Nwaedu, who expressed dismay at the development, called for an evacuation of the body to avoid any health implications of the decomposing body.

In reaction to the development, the Environmental Health Officer, State Ministry of Environment, Mr Sunday Nwonu, said that the ministry would collaborate with the Police Command to evacuate the body of the newborn.

“We do not have the rights to go and bury the baby because police need to be aware.

“Whatever we are doing is with the authority of the police,” Nwonu told NAN.

However, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Loveth Odah, said she had not been briefed by the DPO of the area.

“The DPO of the area has not briefed us on the matter because he told me he was still on it,” she said.

Why not take the baby to orphanage home

It's well

This is the height of cruelty, wickedness and gross heartlessness.

The baby never deserved such a harsh treatment. What stopped whoever dropped him or her there from taking the baby to the Motherless Babies Home?

Some people are jumping from one hospital to another and from one prayer house to another in search of the fruit of the womb while some have the audacity to throw theirs away.

That is how these girls bring sorrow into their lives. Later one innocent guy will come and marry her and they start jumping from one church to another in search of the fruit of the womb.

Kingosytex:
Bia Op, can you back up your story with pictorial evidence?

Is the map of Ebonyi State you attached the new born baby?

Check the Post.

The woman that dumped this baby in a such a place shall have no peace for the rest of her life, the remaining days of her life will be filled with sorrow and anguish.
