Newborn baby found dead in Mokola, Ibadan

A newborn baby has reportedly been discovered dead in Ibadan, Oyo State.
According to reports, the deceased body was dumped under the bridge in the Uncle Joe neighborhood of Mokola, Ibadan, while it was wrapped in black polythene.

32FM gathered that the body might have been dropped early Wednesday before the arrival of passersby.

Alhaji Dina, an eye-witness and resident in the said area, told 32FM he noticed the baby carefully wrapped and placed in the open drainage on his way to his children’s school around 7:30am.

Accordingly, he alerted the police in the Mokola area as well as a Human Right Group who evacuated the body now dead, reportedly due to exhaustion.

It remains unclear the perpetrator of such act.
