Wickedness: Newborn baby found abandoned in soakaway pit in Ogun (PICTURED)

A newborn baby, who was dumped in a septic outlet in Ogun, has been rescued after reportedly crying for almost 24 hours.
Residents of the Surulere community in the Olomore area of Abeokuta, the state capital, discovered the baby in the soak away after his cries were first heard by members of the Cherubim and Seraphim (C&S) Church in the area during a vigil.
The church members however thought no ill of the situation and carried on with their business. The baby was later discovered after its crying became more intense during the day
The Telegraph reports:

All concerned gathered and immediately a rescue mission was raised. By 6 pm, residents found the baby, a boy, who was found alive with his placenta uncut.
The councillor representing the area, Ayoola Kabir said that he was contacted at about 6.45 pm, and made arrangements to get the baby to the hospital.
“First, the idea of contacting the Police came, but, I considered saving the life of the innocent baby first.
“From experience, going to the Police may result in losing the baby, so we took him to the Local Government Health centre, and he was fully revived and a jaundice injection was given. I came back this morning, Sunday, and thank God, he’s doing fine.”
According to Kabir, the pit slab cover had collapsed some years ago and had not been replaced.
The damaged slab concrete saved the baby from going deep into the soak-away pit. Kabir said the matter has been taken up by his ward and will be reported to the local government authority at today’s resumption of duty.
