One-Month-Old Baby Dumped in Indomie Carton at Festac

A one month old baby abandoned in an Indomie carton was rescued by the OPC leader in Amuwo Odofin, Suleiman Badmus, and handed over to officers at the FESTAC Town police station.

According to Nigerian Tribune, the baby is now being cared for by a female police sergeant, Pamela Nwabinye, who has since the discovery been playing the role of mother to the baby.

The baby, who was wearing a light blue overall, was wrapped in a white shawl and carefully placed in the carton.

Olabisi, a younger sister to the OPC leader, who rescued the baby, said,

“The baby was found close to where I sell herbs at Amuwo-Odofin. One of the OPC members heard the baby’s cries and called my brother, Badmus. The baby was inside a carton.

When I saw her, I was shocked. I felt whoever abandoned her must be crazy. Mosquitoes had bitten her face. Why would any woman abandon her baby after she had carried the pregnancy for nine months?”
