Newborn baby allegedly dumped by unknown mother, found dead in a well

The body of a newborn baby believed to have been dumped by the mother, was found in a well in the northern part of Nigeria.

The baby’s body was found floating in the well by a neighbour who then raised alarm. Residents gathered around the well and fetched the baby out using a fetching bucket.


The baby’s mother is still unknown but efforts are being made to trace her.
