Our correspondent gathered from residents of the area  that the dead baby might have been dumped on Thursday night but was discovered on Friday morning.
One of the leaders in the community, Mr. Fatai Olayiwola, said he was shocked just like other members of the community to find the dead baby where it was dumped.
Olayiwola said the residents alerted the Nigeria Security and  Civil Defence  Corps of their discovery and their officials came to the scene immediately.
He said, “I was informed by some resident that a new born baby was dumped close to the river. They said the baby was dead. I went there and saw the dead baby.
“We informed the Civil Defence Corps and they sent some of their officials to come to the scene. The baby was dead and swollen before that time. It had started decomposing by that time. I think the person, who dumped the baby did it the previous night.”
The Public Relations Officer of the NSCDC, Mr. Afolabi Babawale, who was at the scene warned people to desist from such wicked act.
