A passersby has allegedly retrieved an abandoned baby boy in a forest in Abagana in the Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State.
A source said: ‘From what we saw, the baby may have been abandoned in the forest for about two days before it was discovered.
‘The baby is doing well; it is stable,’ the source told this paper
A video trending online corroborated our source.
In the video, some women believed to be local midwives were seen cleaning up the baby while condemning the perpetrators of the heinous crime.
The women and a male voice doing the video wondered how someone could carry a baby for nine months, only to throw such a child away.
While thanking God for saving the baby from being devoured by animals, they implored perpetrators of such acts to handover babies in such circumstances to people to take care of, instead of throwing them away.
Fides could not get police reaction to the story as of the time of filing this report as calls put across to the state Police Public Relations Officer, (PPRO), Tochukwu Ikenga, could not go through.
