The Ewu Ajasa community in Lafenwa, Ogun State, were thrown into a state of confusion when the corpse of a one-year-old child was found in an uncompleted building. Labourers who were at work, clearing weeds around the building were the first to discover the corpse before raising alarm…
The men were said to have fled the area immediately they sighted the corpse. It was their hasty retreat that drew the attention of community leaders to the scene.
The little toddler – a baby girl – was reportedly dumped in the uncompleted building in the early hours of Friday.
According to Punch, the remains of the child had been interred by the community. However, a cloth said to have been used to wrap the child was sighted by newsmen in front of the building.
A woman, who claimed to be overseeing the construction of the building, described those who abandoned the corpse as wicked.
She said, “I am not the owner of the site, it belongs to a woman who is a member of my church.
“Since she doesn’t live around, she asked me to help her to supervise the building.
“It was on Friday that I was called that they found a dead girl on the site. I was as surprised and horrified as everyone because nobody knows their intention.
“I only went there and left after the community leaders said they would bring in the police.”
A resident eye witness said the corpse of the baby had signs of infections all over her body.
