Photo: Ogun community saves day- old baby

A day old-
baby was over the weekend rescued
from a pit in Olomore area of Abeokuta
North local government of Ogun state.
An eyewitness said that residents of
Surulere community in Olomore area of
Abeokuta North woke up to a cry of a
little baby coming from a soak away
toilet behind a church in the area.
Residents said they'd heard the baby
crying in the early hours of Saturday
morning but could not link the cries to a
particular direction. However, later in
the day, around 6pm, the baby's crying
became more pronounced and they
traced it to a soak-away pit. There, they
found the baby, a boy, who was alive
with his placenta uncut.
The pit slab cover had collapsed some
years ago and had not been replaced.
The damaged slab concrete saved the
baby from going deep into the soak-
away pit.
