Woman caught with dead day old baby in sack in Lagos (Photo)

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,
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.
