capital were startled yesterday morning on spotting the mangled body
of a new born baby in a major dumpsite in the area.
The pitiable sight of the baby suspected to have been mangled by the
attackers judging from the decapitated body was spotted inside a
dumpsite at World Bank market road, Owerri. The decomposing body
raised eyebrows as residents including market people gathered to
discuss and have a look at the baby. It also caused traffic hold-up
for the early morning road users.
Policemen who were spotted near the scene controlling traffic and
observing people having a look at the abandoned baby could not utter a
word when approached for comments.
A closer look showed that the baby may have been strangled to death
before being thrown into the dumpsite.
In a related development, the daughter of a Transition Committee
Chairman of one of the councils in Orlu zone (names withheld), has
been kidnapped. The little baby was abducted by unknown persons in his
World Bank Residence in Owerri. The TC Chairman who is among those
recently appointed and sworn in by Governor Okorocha is said to have
opened up discussion with the suspected kidnappers.
