A nine-month-old baby has been abandoned in Ebonyi. It was gathered that the baby was discovered at a riverside in Ezzilo community in the Ishielu Local Government Area of Ebonyi State on Friday.
The abandoned baby was allegedly discovered by a farmer who alerted the police.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mrs Loveth Odah, said in a statement on Saturday that the Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr Aliyu Garba, had directed that adequate medical attention should be given to the baby.
“The CP assures the general public that the command will continue to collaborate with all the relevant government agencies and non-government organisations in fighting against this inhuman act and other social vices in Ebonyi State,” the PPRO said.
