A dog was found by passersby, eating a new
born baby that had been abandoned alive by its mother at a refuse dump at
the Federal Polytechnic Student Village, Gwallameji, Bauchi State yesterday. An
eye witness, who gave an account of the incident said:
“I was coming back
from church when I saw many people behind a house away from ours. I became
curious and went to see what was happening there.“What I saw there was
disgusting and annoying. It was someone, who dumped a new born baby at a refuse
dump and a dog was found eating it (the baby).
“From the look of
things and from what I heard people say, the baby was abandoned alive but was
killed by the dog.
“How can someone do
this to an innocent child? How can a human life be treated with such levity?
It’s so bad and inhumane.”
He said some of the people at the
scene dug a shallow grave and buried the remains of the baby just
beside the refuse site, but he didn't say what happened to the dog.
The traditional Chief of Gwallameji, Hassan Ibrahim, was contacted by Vanguard and he confirmed the incident.

He said:
“I got a call from
someone informing me of the incident but I told the person that I was not
around. When I called the number back, I was told that Wakilin Sarkin
Gwallameji (representative of the chief of Gwallameji), Sanusi Mohammed, was
already there. “Since he was there, I continued with what I was doing knowing
that he would handle everything well. As I speak with you now, I haven’t met
him yet for information on the incident.”
Horrible incidents like this case
is reportedly becoming a norm. Less than 4 months ago, a dead body of a new
born baby was found dumped in a polythene bag at a refuse dump in the same
area.
This is so sad.
