Residents were thrown into shock over the death of a baby found abandoned in biscuit carton along Ikot Ekpene Road in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state.

The baby girl, neatly dressed and abandoned near a refuse dump, supposedly cried herself to death.
According to reports, the unidentified baby became pale after a long period of crying, before ing out.

One of the witnesses said the mother might have abandoned the baby because she considered it a witch or she might have been driven by poverty.
“There are lot of children being thrown away like this in recent times because the mothers think they’re witches or plagued by demon spirits or maybe for lack of what feed the children.” the witness said.
Mr. Okon Isaac, who was on his way to a fuel station along Ikot Ekpene Road, said he heard the cry of a baby near the refuse bin.
“I have been here since 5:47 am. I wanted to buy fuel from Total, which only sells the product when available between the hours of 4 and 6:20am. After this time, they stop selling pretending not to have the product. As I was ing, I heard the cry of the baby. I began to wonder where the baby was crying from, but when I got close to the refuse bin, just off the road, I saw a baby girl neatly dressed and dumped in a biscuit carton,” said Mr Okon.
“I could not go to Total in search of fuel again. I stayed behind to observe if the mother of the baby might change her mind and come back for the baby. And before long, people started to troop in as they heard the cry of the baby. As we live in a period of child theft and selling of children for money, people were scared to touch the baby. They all stood helpless, should anyone risk lifting the baby, and the police happen to be around, the individual can be accused of child theft, or whatever.” He added.
The police, who confirmed the incident said they were aware of the situation and had ed the Ministry of Environment for necessary action.
Meanwhile, until the baby died; neither the police nor officials of the Ministry of Environment were seen at the scene.

I tell you solemnly, it would have been better the mother hadn't been born..

If the wicked mother had dashed the baby to couple looking for the fruit of the womb, it would have been better, she just wasted the destiny who may have been her liberation.

wat is wrong with some set of humans, someone somewhere is crying day and nite for a child Nd here one wicked entity is showing hw ungrateful she/he could be

And i know of several women that are looking for children... Irony of life.... ENDTIME OOOO

Terrible things are really happening.

Short of words...

Many people will rush here and blame the mother when it's the fault of two people.

Anyway rip baby

Time to legalize abortion and increase contraception awareness in Nigeria.

Don't bring a child into this world to suffer and either die or hate his life.

Akwa ibomites are too backward for my liking
Every child to them Na witch.

Pregnancy is a combined effort,blame the two idiots!

This is wickedness.

She could have at least dropped the baby off at the doorstep of a mother less baby home.

You will be fuckingggg unsafely and you expect not to be pregnant?.... After getting pregnant, you give birth and eventually abandon the baby to die like this?

WTF is happening to ladies? Some are looking for this precious gift for years without seeing.... Just hope ladies can learn.

the spirit of that baby still cries on

WHAT HAS THIS INNOCENT CHILD DONE TO DESERVE SUCH CRUELTY?,MAY THE LORD HAVE MERCY ON THE PERSON THAT DID THIS.

I am waiting for the Trumpet to sound, the end is here...
