An insane woman over the weekend caused stir at a refuse dump very close to AGIP filling station at Alaoji along the Ikot Ekpene Road near Aba when she killed her own baby.
According to eyewitnesses, the unidentified young lady delivered a set of female twins on a refuse heap on Saturday unassisted.
Due to the labour tension, she fell asleep and the cry of one of the babies woke her up.
In anger, the insane woman took a stone and hit the crying baby on the head and she died instantly.
The sad incident forced onlookers to alert the police who came to rescue the other one.
Sensing that the life of the second baby could also be in danger, residents of the area alerted the police and the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) for Ogbor Hill Division, Mrs. Helen Nze, was said to have led a team of policemen to the refuse dump.
The police rushed the baby that was still alive to a private hospital, where she was cleaned and given medication, and deposited the dead one in a mortuary.
It was gathered that an unknown person impregnated the woman, in her mid 20s and whose name could not be ascertained as at press time, late last year.
So sad! May the soul of the innocent baby rest in peace.
