According to report a statement issued on Sunday by the leader of the Operation Zaman Lafiya vigilante group, Commander Rabiu Sulai
He said his team stumbled upon the disturbing scene when on patrol Yesterda, that around 2 a.m., while we were on patrol, we came across a shocking incident inside a pit very close to us. Upon close observation, we noticed a disposed carton, but we had no idea what was inside it, to clear our doubt and to be sure nothing harmful was kept there, I instructed my boys to open the carton, and behold, upon opening it, we saw a baby already dead, Sulaiman revealed.
Due to the discovery, the vigilantes alerted community leaders and later reported the case to the police.
By morning, we invited the ward head to come and see for himself, along with other members of the community, before taking the baby to the police station. he explained.
The police directed them to a hospital, where doctors confirmed the baby was dead.
The commander however urged vigilante groups to remain vigilant in safeguarding their communities and called on parents to guide their children, particularly young women, to avoid circumstances leading to unwanted pregnancies.eb
He said unwanted pregnancy contradicts Islamic teachings. Parents must monitor their children’s movements and guide them properly.
