Photo: Ogun community saves day-old baby

After crying helplessly for nearly 24 hours inside a soak away pit, a day old-baby was over the weekend rescued from a pit in Olomore area of Abeokuta North local government of Ogun state.

An eyewitness said that residents of Surulere community in Olomore area of Abeokuta North woke up to a cry of a little baby coming from a soak away toilet behind a church in the area.
 
Residents said they'd heard the baby crying in the early hours of Saturday morning but could not link the cries to a particular direction. However, later in the day, around 6pm, the baby’s crying became more pronounced and they traced it to a soak-away pit. There, they found the baby, a boy, who was alive with his placenta uncut.
 
The pit slab cover had collapsed some years ago and had not been replaced. The damaged slab concrete saved the baby from going deep into the soak-away pit. (Source - Telegraphng.com)

And some people don't believe in God!

The restrictive abortion laws copied from Britain at Independence has been reviewed several times in Britain. A woman will get rid of her pregnancy or its product no matter the law if she doesnt want the pregnancy, even to the extent of doing things that may kill her!

Thank God for sparing the baby's life. Abeg instead of people to throw kids away please send them to orphanages or use them to bless those still seeking for God's fruit of the womb.

Na wa oh!! Some women get heart sha! Instead of putting a child der, y nt put d child in front of an orphanage n run away. Or in front of a church. God saved that child 4 a purpose, whosoever threw away that child will eventually regret it, wicked soul.

People commenting on here swearing the mother threw this child away. What if they tried to steal the baby for rituals but his "head" no gree? what if the mother died at childbirth and the hospital or shrine does not want to be tied to her death? what if the mother is mentally disturbed, would she even realize the depth of what she has done. Gosh you are all here cursing like you have the full details. You guys can judge sha
