Tears flowed at Marine Base, in the Old Port Harcourt Township as residents woke up from their sleep and found a day old baby in a refuse bin opposite Marine Base Mini Mart/Fisherman Estate Junction.
Eyewitnesses confided to our correspondent said they came out in the morning and found the baby death, saying that the heartless mother who dumped the child in the refuse bin did so out of ignorance.
They alleged that the baby died as a result of suffocation in the dust bin, as one part of its lips was torn so as to avoid the baby’s cry because that could attract passer-by. The residents rained curses on the heartless mother###
