He added that some used syringes and injections were found close to the body.

“Alarm was raised by the first set of persons who came to dispose of their waste at the dump, attracting a large crowd to the place. This resulted in heavy traffic on Ikwerre Road, but the police later came and removed the baby,” he said.

A spokesman for the state police command, Nnamdi Omoni, confirmed the incident.

Omoni said, “Before our men got to the scene, the baby was already dead. We have intensified investigation into the incident to unravel what happened and to bring to book any person found culpable.”
