Newborn found in dustbin – Lagos police spokesperson

A day-old baby has been rescued from a dustbin where he was dumped. Ben Hundeyin, the spokesperson for the Lagos Police Command, announced the discovery in his tweet on Thursday.

Hundeyin said the newborn would have died, had he not been found and rescued at the time.

“A day old baby was found wrapped in a polythene bag in a dustbin. Save for quick detection, baby would have died. Baby is doing fine. Prevent the pregnancy. It’s better than killing the baby. Infanticide is a crime!,” Hundeyin tweeted.
