23-yr-old dumps baby in toilet

Jigawa State Command of the Nigeria
Security and Civil Defense Corps, NSCDC, has
arrested a 23-year-old woman, Hadiza Shehu,
while dropping her new born baby boy in a pit
toilet after giving birth to him in the night in
Yankoli Quarters, Hadejia Local Government Area of the state. State Commander of NSCDC, Dr. Muhammad
Gidado, in a statement in Dutse, said in the course
of investigation, she admitted the crime. She named one Muhammad Akarami, 42, who is
alleged to be a fake Mallam, of being responsible
for the pregnancy and allegedly instructed her to
dump the baby in a toilet whenever she gave
birth. According to her, the Mallam told her that it was a
divine revelation and threatened that if she
refused, she would either die or go mad. The commander added that the lady claimed she
went to the Mallam to seek for prayers for
protection against her boyfriend, but ended up
becoming the Mallam bedmate. The Commandant said the Mallam had been
arrested and detained for further questioning,
adding that after investigation, the two suspects
would be charged to court.
