A newborn abandoned baby girl was rescued
by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence
Corps (NSCDC) near a clinic in Umuahia,
Abia State. A letter left by the baby's mother
was also recovered. According to Channels
TV, the letter said that the baby should not
be sold but handed over to motherless
babies’ home or any well-meaning Nigerian
who can cater for her welfare.
The Abia State NSCDC Commandant, Walter
Chika, who confirmed the incident revealed
that the abandoned child was rescued by the
Anti-Traffic Unit of the agency near a health
centre in Avodim village in Umuahia South
Local Government Area of the state.
The NSCDC Commandant urged young
women to avoid acts that could result into
pregnancy if they are not ready to take
responsibility as abandoning children under
the disguise of inability to care for them was
a criminal act and against the right of the
Nigerian child.
Discussion was ongoing with designated
ministry to take responsibility for the child,
he added. Source: Channels TV
