As at press time, no person had reported claiming ownership of the child.
Nwaokorie said: “I came around the uncompleted building around Orogwe Secondary School where I saw the baby crawling on the ground. I looked around, nobody was seen. It was a strange sight on a Sunday. There was no commercial or religious activity in that area. The school nearby was shut and the uncompleted building was deserted. I quickly carried the baby, alerted people around in case they knew the bay, nobody did, then I took the baby to Ogbaku Police Station and left the baby in the care of the police.” The baby should be between eight and nine months old.”
