Mukono district Police commander Jerome Mwesigwa said that Police was tipped off by Nansimbe’s neighbors who heard the baby crying down in the pit latrine on Monday.

“She dumped her in a 60 feet pit latrine. By God’s grace she was still alive,” he said.

When asked why she dumped the baby in the pit latrine, Nansimbe said that she did not know who the biological father of the baby was after the one she thought was the right father disowned her.

Nansimbe was paraded in a village meeting conducted by the State Minister for the youth Ronald Kibuule who condemned the act and asked Police to charge her accordingly.

Nansimbe’s boyfriend Ronald Ssekitto who was in the meeting said that he left home for some time to work, only to return when Nansimbe was pregnant.
