Photo:A 40-year old Woman Caught With Dead Day Old Baby In Lagos

A 40-year old widow named Mujidat was caught on
Wednesday October 30th with a dead day old baby she
hid inside a sack in Lagos.
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
