A young mentally challenged woman caused a stir in Aba, Abia State
at the weekend when she gave birth to a set of female twins on a heap
of refuse and stoned one to death before the police were invited.
It was gathered that an unknown person impregnated the woman, in her
mid 20s and whose name could not be ascertained as at press time, late
last year.
Sources told Daily Sun that in the wee hours of Saturday, she gave
birth to two girls without any assistance on top of a heap of garbage
close to an AGIP filling station at Alaoji, along the Ikot Ekpene Road,
near Aba.
It was gathered that after giving birth to the babies, the insane
woman fell asleep and when one of the babies started crying, she woke up
used a stone she found within the place to hit her and the child died
before she could be rescued.
Sensing that the life of the second baby could also be in danger,
residents of the area alerted the police and the Divisional Police
Officer (DPO) for Ogbor Hill Division, Mrs. Helen Nze, was said to have
led a team of policemen to the refuse dump.
The police rushed the baby that was still alive to a private
hospital, where she was cleaned and given medication, and deposited the
dead one in a mortuary.
Checks by Daily Sun revealed that police might have concluded plans
to hand over the baby to the Welfare Department of Aba South Local
Government after the necessary documentations because of the inherent
danger in allowing the baby to stay with her mother.
