The body of a 4 month old boy was found inside a gutter early Tuesday
morning at Beebobsco bus stop, Murtala Mohammed highway, Calabar, Cross
River state. According to Vanguard, an eye witness, Eme Douglas who
sells cement close to where the body was found said they found the body
inside a polythene bag when they resumed work on Tuesday morning, he
confirmed the body wasn't there on Monday evening when they closed for
work.
“I saw the lifeless body of the baby boy this morning while sweeping our
premises, although I did not see when the baby was dropped but I am
certain it was in the early of today, I don’t even know who to contact,
some security agents have been here but none of them picked the baby”
According to Vanguard, Barr James Ibor, a Principal Counsel, Basic
Rights counsel Initiative, a child right Organization in Cross River
state, said they would make sure a proper investigation is carried out
and the culprit arrested;
“It is really sad and quite unfortunate that despite the volume of
applications by different people at the ministry of Sustainable
Development and Social Welfare for adoption of children that somebody
could have the gods to commit such sacrilege”.
“We will make sure make sure that the police carry out full
investigation into the matter and bring the culprit to book, we will not
rest until that child gets justice” Ibor said.
