The corpse of a year old baby was found on Itele Road, Ewu Ajasa community in Lafenwa, Ogun state, while some labourers were clearing the weeds in the building. The men took to their heels when they discovered this, which triggered the attention of the neighbourhood.
It was suspected that the female child was dumped in the uncompleted building in the early hours of Friday.
A woman, who claimed to be overseeing the construction of the building, described those who abandoned the corpse as wicked.
She said, “I am not the owner of the site, it belongs to a woman who is a member of my church. Since she doesn’t live around, she asked me to help her to supervise the building.
“It was on Friday that I was called that they found a dead girl on the site. I was as surprised and horrified as everyone because nobody knows their intention. I only went there and left after the community leaders said they would bring in the police.”
The secretary of the Community Development Association, Pastor Aseyi Clement, said, “We first called the Baale, Chief Segun Ajasa, before we reported the matter to the police. We took a picture of the corpse and with the permission of the police, we buried the child. We did that to avert an outbreak of any disease.
“Our investigations showed that the child was brought from a far place and we had to report back to the police so they could also make their findings.”
Punch learnt that a suspect had been arrested and was being interrogated at the Itele Police Station.
