A six-month-old baby has reportedly been found at Umukabia village, Neni, in Anaocha Local Government Area of Anambra State.
The baby, suspected to have been abandoned by its mother, was said to have been found on Monday at 10.50 p.m.
The dark-skinned baby was taken to Neni Police Division by the chairman of the area’s vigilance group, Mr Titus Ogudogwo.
Police spokesman Haruna Mohammed, a Superintendent of Police (SP), said the command was tracing the baby’s biological parents to reunite it with the family.
