While some people are looking for the fruit of the womb, others whom God has favoured decided to throw it away.
This newborn was rescued by a good samaritan in Benue State.
The baby girl who had her ear and head bitten by ants was wrapped in a black polythene bag along a farm path in Adaka village of Makurdi Local Government Area of Benue State.
The good Samaritan, identified as Joy Kwatse , told newsmen that she was going to her farm after it stopped raining when she noticed the bag.
She said she found the child struggling for survival, and having mud all over her body even as soldier ants had eaten her head, face and buttocks.
The lady said;
“I saw a black polythene bag with something moving inside. I was scared but I summoned courage and moved closer. Then I noticed that it was a child struggling for survival. She had mud all over her body even as soldier ants had eaten her"
The lady explained that she took the child to the police station but was told to take her to the hospital for treatment.
"I picked and unwrapped her. I proceeded to ‘D’ Division Police station and they later referred me to the Command headquarters, where they took my statement and told me to take the baby to the hospital for immediate medical treatment.
“Then, I went to my sister who wasted no time in involving a security aide to Governor Samuel Ortom, Tughgba Nightfall.
“And courtesy of the aide, we ended up at Olive Vine Children Health centre located on SS8 Kwararafa Quarters off Atiku Abubakar Road, Makurdi.” The lady said
