A premature infant was found dead at the Ignatius Ajuru University of Education in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The male child was allegedly abandoned in front of a female dormitory on Saturday morning, February 24, 2024, by an unnamed person.
The young kid, who is perhaps six or seven months old, was left unattended at the university’s Rumulumeni campus in the Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of the state, according to a number of students.
“I woke up in the morning and started hearing noise everywhere and I rushed out. Only for me to see gathering and looking further, I saw a forming baby of about six months inside a hole with blood all over and the placenta. The person who did that removed the baby on Saturday morning,” one of the students said.
Another source alleged that the baby was aborted by a student.
“A lady from the hostel dumped a baby around Salvation Hostel in Ignatius Ajuru University. The child has not really formed. The baby still has fresh blood on him. The baby may be about six months old, ” she said.
