Disturbing: Kogi Woman Dumps Newborn After Affair with Servant
In a disturbing incident, a housewife in Kogi State, identified as Barkisu Sulaiman, was arrested for dumping her day-old baby in a gutter.
According to reports, Barkisu confessed to the authorities that she had become pregnant by one of her husband’s servants while her husband was ill.
The alleged father of the child had rejected responsibility for the pregnancy and advised her to terminate it.
After giving birth, she decided to discard the baby due to the shame and circumstances surrounding the pregnancy.
The baby was found by local residents in the Karaworo area of Lokoja, and Barkisu was subsequently arrested by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) after a friend tipped off the authorities.
The case is currently under investigation.
