The Akwa Ibom State Police Command has rescued a one-day-old baby buried
alive by the mother in a shallow grave in Afaha Abia Village of Nsit
Ibom Local Government Area.
The state Commissioner of Police, Mr Gabriel Achong, made this known on
Thursday in Uyo while briefing newsmen on the activities of the command
in the last two months.
Achong said that the command had arrested the mother of the baby for
attempted infanticide, adding that she was being investigated.
"Patience on September 14, 2014 did bury her one-day-old baby boy in a shallow grave. The baby was rescued alive,” Achong said.
The commissioner said that the suspect was among the 37 persons arrested
by the command over various offences in August and September.
He said that members of the command’s Quick Response Squad (QRS) had
within the period also rescued four children reportedly stolen.
He said that the children had been reconciled with their parents.
