A young child has been found abandoned in the Sabon-
Tasha area of Kaduna.
The baby, a girl of about 2 months, was found on Tuesday
night near a school within the Chikun Local Government
Area of the state.
The little girl is believed to have been abandoned by her
mother and was found at night by a staff of the Nigerian
Immigration Service.
Leadership reports:
Mrs. Caleb Harry, who picked the baby, told
LEADERSHIP that she was found around 8:30 pm.
"It was my children that saw the baby crying who ran to
the house to inform me. My neighbours and I went to the
place where the baby was seen and brought her home.
"We have been wondering why a mother after giving birth
would abandon her baby and run away," she said.
Also speaking on the issue, Special Marshal of the Federal
Road Safety Commission (FRSC), Mr. Sunny Obaro, told
LEADERSHIP that from Tuesday night when they found
the baby till yesterday, nobody had come to claim the
baby.
He said it was regrettable that a young girl would abandon
her baby after giving birth.
"We have been feeding the baby with pap and water and
we are preparing to hand her over to the Chikun local
government welfare unit," he said.
