A 40-year-old widow identified as Mujidat was
caught on Wednesday with a dead day old baby
hidden in a sack around her home at 2, Reverend
Alimi street, NEPA phase 1, Ijagemo in Iba local
council development area of Lagos state.
The mother of five was caught by a high Chief,
Babatunde Balogun a member of the community
when she was trying to dispose the baby at about
5p.m on Wednesday.
According to report, when Balogun questioned her on
the content of the sack, she said it contained
household items which bought from the market but
when he looked closely, he noticed it was a dead day
old baby which the woman had allegedly just
delivered.
That was when he raised an alarm calling the
attention of other residents.
Mujidat said she didn’t see the need of going to any
hospital to deliver as she found delivery easy and
therefore claimed to have done everything herself.
It was gathered that different men have been visiting
her home after the death of her husband three years
ago.
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. .
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.
