A local vigilante group has rescued a newborn abandoned in a refuse dump in front of Mile 3 motor park in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

The baby girl, who was still carrying her placenta, wrapped with clothes and left in the cold, was rescued by the vigilante who were on routine patrol at about 3am, on Friday, April 28, 2023.

The Chief Security Officer of Nkpolu Oroworukwo community, Mile 3 Diobu under the Diobu Vigilante, Godstime Ihunwo, confirmed the incident to newsmen.

He said on the discovery, he put a call across to a human rights activist, Prince Wiro, who accompanied him to the police station to lodge a formal report.

“At 3am this morning (Friday), while on routine patrol, I discovered a newborn baby who is less than six hours old. At the point of discovery, the baby was still wrapped in clothes and placenta,” Ihunwo said.

“I rescued the child and immediately called a female nurse for urgent medical attention to be given to the baby. Upon inspection by the nurse, the baby was discovered to be a female. I called Prince Wiro, who immediately came to my office and accompanied me to Nkpolu Police station to make a formal report,”

The vigilante leader blamed the development on the absence of street lights in most parts of Port Harcourt.

"I want to use this medium to appeal to the Rivers State Government to prevail on the contractors in charge of Ikwerre Road street lights to ensure the lights are always on at night.” he added.

Mr Prince Wiro, who is the Coordinator of Centre for Basic Rights Protection and Accountability Campaign, said the baby is responding to treatment.

So sad

R.i.p to the departed souls.

A Couple and their son have died in a crash around Village 49, close to the Onipetesi end of the Sagamu Ore Expressway in Ondo State.

According to Punch, the man identified as Baba Dara, who was conveying his family members in a Sienna bus on Wednesday, April 26, was leading two other drivers driving separate vehicles to Abia State for a burial.

While en route to the destination, it was gathered that Baba Dara, who was in front of the other drivers, suddenly attempted to stop to avoid a pothole around Village 49, close to the Onipetesi end of the expressway, and in the process, the driver coming behind rammed into him, causing him to lose control of the vehicle and ran into the road divider.

An eyewitness, who gave his name only as Akindele, said the vehicle Baba Dara was driving tumbled after hitting the road divider, adding that the impact of the crash killed him alongside his wife and child.

“The accident happened around 10am when I was returning from Akure. and the crash killed three members of a family. From what I gathered, the accident happened when the man, whom we later got to know as Baba Dara, was conveying his wife, son and a relative in a Sienna bus while two other vehicles were coming behind them. They were all going for burial in Abia State,” he explained.

"The other drivers drove a Sienna bus carrying pepper and drinks, and a Toyota SUV carrying yam and fruits including Banana, among others. Baba Dara was leading the two drivers behind when he suddenly matched the brake to avoid running a pothole around Village 49 and in the process, the driver driving the other Sienna bus behind him rammed into him and the driver driving the SUV also rammed into the Sienna bus.

Akindele said the impact of the collision made the first vehicle driven by Baba Dara ram into the road divider and it somersaulted, and started dragging on the floor for a short period till it turned back up.

"It was when the car turned back up that we realised that the head of the car had cut off and Baba Dara, his wife and son died on the spot,” the eyewitness said.

Akindele said while other victims who survived the crash were wailing over the tragic development, policemen attached to the Onipetesi Division, stormed the premises for an on-the-spot assessment of the case.
