Drama As Residents Rescue Newborn Baby Abandoned In Anambra Forest

Residents of Abagana, Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State, have rescued a newborn baby abandoned in a forest.

A source told Daily Post correspondent that the concerned residents are rehabilitating the baby.

The source said: “From what we saw the baby may been abandoned in the forest for about two days before it was discovered.

“The baby is doing well; he is stable.”

A video trending online corroborated the report.

In the video, some women believed to be local midwives were seen cleansing the baby while condemning those who abandoned him in the forest.

The women and a male voice doing the video wondered how someone would carry a baby for nine months, only to throw such a child away.

Waploaded correspondent could not get the police to react to the development 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.
