Baby boy abandoned in refuse dump, burnt to death

Unknown heartless mother on Friday dumped a baby in a
refuse cart along Rukuba Road in Jos, Plateau State capital.
The said baby was reportedly consumed by fire after the
mother had left the scene.
DailyPost gathered that the unidentified lady alighted from a
tricycle popularly called Keke NAPEP and dropped a carton
in the refuse bin, but unknown to those around, the carton
contained a baby.
However, it is yet clear whether the mother was the one who
ignited the fire or it came from ashes poured into the bin by
other people, but the fire was seen several minutes after
she had dropped the carton and left, according to
residents of the area.
DailyPost learnt frome a source that some passers-by who
heard the deafening cry of the baby rushed to the dump site
only to discover that the baby had been badly burnt.
The baby, however died before
help could get to him.
A resident who confirmed sighting the lady when she
dropped the carton said she must have come from another town in Jos just to conceal her identity while carrying out the criminal act. He lamented that the lady chose to dump the baby in a refuse cart instead of where he can be picked up for proper care.
