Residents in
Okpoko of Ogbaru Local Government Area of Anambra State were, on
Thursday, shocked when the 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.
Nigerian Tribune gathered
that 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 faces remained floating.
Her
brother-in-law, a source revealed, therefore, decided to deep his hand into
the toilet, and 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 bi zarre 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.
When contacted,
the 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.
