Photo: Woman caught
with dead day old baby in sack in Lagos…
A
40-year old widow named Mujidat was caught yesterday Wednesday October 30th
with a dead day old baby she hid inside a sack around her residence at at the
Iba area of Lagos, PM News reports.
It
was gathered that a member of the community, High Chief Babatunde Balogun
caught the mother of seven when she was
trying to dispose the baby at about 5 p.m. on Wednesday. When questioned
on the content of the sack, she claimed she was coming from the market where
she bought some household items.
However,
on a closer look, Balogun discovered that the sack contained a dead day old
baby the woman allegedly had just delivered. He then called the attention of
the other residents. Neighbours told P.M News that after Mujidat’s husband
known as Baba Mushin died about three years ago, they have seen men visiting
her residence, the house built by her late husband.
When
asked if she planned to throw away the baby because of an alleged paternity
mess, she denied, claiming that a welder
turned block maker near her residence was responsible for the pregnancy that
resulted in the birth of the dead baby she was caught with.
She
claimed she took delivery of the baby by herself because she found it easy and
therefore did not go to any hospital or sought anybody’s help.
At
about 9 p.m yesterday when P.M.NEWS visited the area, residents of the area
were still milling around the residence of the woman.
Officials
of the Community Development Association, CDA, in the area later accompanied
the woman and her sack of baby to the Isheri-Oshun Police Division where the
matter was reported. At the time of this report, the woman was still being
interrogated.
