You see, the fear of wrongful accusation by the Nigerian Police led to this innocent child's death. Honestly, our police need to be retrained. What a pity! But the woman that commit this dastardly acts against this child will never know peace except she repents and confess her crimes.


Meanwhile, beware of the data thief bellow who will only collect your money but will NEVER send you data. Awof dey run belle ooooooooooo

Callous and selfish bunch of people... Nonsense. @ least save the life 1st. if they had all gone together to report the case with the baby, would they all have been arrested?

But it's also a wake up call to the NPF. See what the citizens think of you. The IG ought to see this...

Gaborone:
Their response is condemnable, but at the end of the day, their refusal to help is a symptom of a disease. The disease here is the victimization of helpers by the Police. You hear of cases where those who help accident victims, etc are detained and treated as criminals.

The society will keep presenting those symptoms, till we cleans the system and take care of the disease ravaging the Nigerian Police.

May her soul rest in perfect peace.


Just imagine! They sounded like illiterates and stewpid too.

I've heard and seen many of such cases on TV. The first person that gets there or any interested person takes the baby, bath and dresses him/her up even before going to the police station.

It's a pity what ignorance is doing to some people.

There's ko excuse whatsoever for letting such a beautiful child cry to death. Tell me how the police will arrest all of you for helping the poor baby, and you all stood there? What is wrong with us as a people, when did we get to this level of self centeredness?

While not absolving the mother of any blame, what if she was hoping a Samaritan would pick her child and help her out? For her to dress her so nicely.

In all, dear God please have mercy on all parties involved

Nigeria Police; help an accident victim, you'll make statement and bail yourself. Help abandoned baby, you come to the station to explain. You report a robbery, you'll bail yourself with 'I no follow' which is at least 5000 naira.

Men of the Nigeria Police see the profession as a money making machine. Don't be surprised that one of them was there in plainclothes praying for anyone to touch the baby.

A baby girl, dressed and abandoned by her mother in a biscuit carton near Eco Bank, along Ikot Ekpene Road, Uyo, died after hours of battling for survival.

The baby, who was said to have been abandoned by her mother at about 11:30pm on Friday, died around 11:58am on Saturday after many hours of crying for help.

A resident of the area, Mr. Okon Isaac, told a Punch correspondent that the baby became pale after a long period of crying for her mum’s comfort before passing out.

Isaac said he wanted to check if Total Filling Station along Ikot Ekpene Road, Uyo had begun to sell fuel when he heard a baby cry near the refuse bin, dressed neatly and dumped in the biscuit carton.

According to him, he was perplexed and had to suspend buying fuel and kept watch over the baby since 5:47am thinking that the mother might change her mind and come back for the baby.

He stated that the baby’s cry from the carton drew the attention of a large number of people.

Isaac added that people were scared to touch the baby to avoid being accused by the police of trying to steal or kidnap the baby.

“I have been here since 5:47am. I wanted to buy fuel from Total, which only sells the product when available between the hours of 4 and 6:20am. After this time, they stop selling pretending not to have the product.

“As I was passing, I heard the cry of the baby. I began to wonder where the baby was crying from. But when I got near the refuse bin, just off the road, I saw a baby girl neatly dressed and dumped in a biscuit carton.

“I could not go to Total in search of fuel again. I stayed behind to observe if the mother of the baby might change her mind and come back for the baby. And before long, people started to troop in as they heard the cry of the baby.

“But as we live in a period of child theft and selling of children for money, people were scared to touch the baby. They all stood helpless, should anyone risk lifting the baby, and the police happen to be around, the individual can be accused of child theft, or whatever,” he said.

The Punch correspondent called the police emergency number to inform them of the abandoned baby, but the police said they were aware of the situation and had contacted the Ministry of Environment for necessary action.

It was observed that till the baby died, neither the police nor officials of the Ministry of Environment were present at the scene.

Yes. That's what you get in a heartless country with heartless leaders & heartless corrupt law enforcement agencies.
So police could not first take the baby to police station, keep her warm and give at least glucose.

That innocent life died out of dehydration, hypothermia and hypoglycaemia.
Pity.

RIP young blood. You were unlucky to come into wicked country.

I don't blame them. Our policemen are not smart at all. They can turn your good deeds into criminal charges

I blame them. And I blame you for supporting such travesty.

Why the heck will people not gather the liver to do the right thing?

And knowing Nigerians, I bet the crowd of cowards that stood by while the baby was dying were the ones even warning others to do nothing.

I would have put aside all i had to do for the day to ensure I got her to a hospital.

There is certainly no excuse for watching that innocent baby die. What happened to contacting a doctor? Why not contact the police itself? Will the police accuse a whole crowd of people of kidnapping


Absolute wickedness!

Every single person in that vicinity as at the time the baby started crying should be ashamed of themselves. What sort of community was that? This can never happen in South-West nigeria without one Iya Funke spontaneously saving the baby, damning whatever legal/illegal consequence Nigerian Police would come up with. A bunch of sissy fcukies!

God will not forgive the whole of them that stood still and watch that innocent baby cry her eyes to death without making even an effort to help. Just a little show of care would have calmed the baby. If this can be done to an helpless Baby, what about a full grown Man? What a wicked World will live in.

SAD. But if a crowd of like 12 people went to the police together with the baby, I don't think things would have turned out ugly as the people thought. Now the baby is dead, and they could have saved her.

Hv u heard of the word suspects by police before....

You Hv to pay before you are let free...

In mst area nw..if Ppl are fighting near your house the best thing is to leave ur house for Lik 2days..Cuz police will cum hours after the fight n pack every living thing...

So because of fear of being accused by the police, people left a new born baby to cry to death? What a world we are living in. This excuse is the height of cowardice and callousness. How will now change our policemen if we live under the fear of the evil they do? This is exactly the problem we have in this nation, people are willing to keep mute in the face of evil to protect their head!!! Nobody cares about the next person.

The stupiidity of this excuse is appalling.
So the police would have accused ALL of you for trying to kidnap a baby obviously in a carton far away from home? Interesting. So why weren't the police called?

See, wickedness is not only when someone accuses another falsely. Wickedness is seeing the helpless and doing nothing.
