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 be
fore 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.
