State were shocked yesterday [Nov. 27] when
news broke that a housewife in the community,
names withheld, had dumped her newborn baby
into the toilet. She was said to have a protruded
stomach, a peculiar nature that made many
people in the area, not to be aware that she was
pregnant.
She decided to dump the newborn baby into the
toilet, to save her the agony of nursing a baby,
which, she said, could disturb her business.
According to Nigerian Tribune, when a member of
the family, her brother-in-law, wanted to use the
toilet, he discovered that water could not flush
the waste, as his faeces remained floating. Her
brother-in-law discovered to his surprise, that a
placenta had been dumped into the toilet, a
situation which made him to scream, attracting
other residents to the scene, who in utter disbelief
removed the lifeless baby from the toilet.
When the whole family met shortly after the
incident and summoned other family members,
some of them saw traces of blood stain on the
woman’s clothes, the wife of their elder brother,
but she refused to give details of the bizarre act,
and even denied knowledge of what happened.
She was thereafter taken to a maternity home
where it was confirmed that she had given birth
to a baby, but when the husband was contacted,
he said his wife was in police custody and
declined further comments.
Anambra command Police Public Relations Officer,
Mr Uche Eze, said they had not heard about the
matter, but said if it was true, they would receive
full details of the report from the DPO of Okpoko
Police Station.
