A newborn baby has been reportedly dumped in a drainage by yet to be identified mother in the Lokoja area of Kogi state.
The child was spotted on Wednesday in Karaworo, near Kutepa Juma’at Mosque, by one of the residents living in the area.
The woman, identified as Talatu Ibrahim, who found the baby in a gutter beside her window, says that she heard the cry of a baby.
“When I heard the cry of a baby at the back of my window, I ran outside and saw the newly born baby boy dumped in a gutter beside my window, it was around 5 am this morning.” She said.
As I raised the alarm, some people from the neighborhood came out and took the baby to an elderly woman beside my house.
