40-year old widow, known as Mujidat, was caught on Wednesday with a dead day old baby hidden in a sack around her home at 2, Reverend Alimi street, NEPA phase 1, Ijagemo in Iba local council development area of Lagos state. The baby was believed to be no more than one day old.
According to PM News, a neighbour raised the alarm after spotting the mother-of-seven behaving suspiciously.
High chief Babatunde Balogun said that when he asked her about the contents of the sack, she claimed they were household items from the market.
But Balogun opened the sack and found the baby's body inside.
It was gathered that different men have been visiting her home after the death of her husband three years ago.
When asked if she planned to throw away the baby because of an alleged paternity mess, she denied, claiming that a welder turned block maker near her residence was responsible for the pregnancy that resulted in the birth of the dead baby she was caught with. .
Mujidat said that she delivered the child herself because she found it easy. She did not reveal the circumstances surrounding the baby's death.
A picture taken at the scene shows Mujidat holding the naked and blooded baby in her lap.
She remains in police custody.
