The Kano Fire Service Officers have rescued a toddler dumped into a pit toilet by a mentally challenged mother.
The newborn baby girl was rescued alive shortly after her mentally deranged mother, identified as Hauwa Muhammed, dumped her into a pit toilet.
Confirming the incident, the Fire Service spokesman, Saminu Abduallahi, said, “On Wednesday, February 15, 2023, the state fire service received an emergency call at about 10:49 am from one of our staff, Ibrahim Umar Muhammad, reporting an incident that happened at Sabon Titi Gidan Kankara Kano Municipal.”
“The fire service men mobilized and arrived at the scene at about 10:54 a.m. and discovered that a 25-year-old mother, identified as Huwa Muhammad, who is mentally deranged, suddenly dumped her newborn baby into a pit toilet.
“However, our firemen, on arrival at the scene, swung into action and successfully rescued the baby alive and subsequently handed her over to her grandfather, Abubakar Umar Usman of Sabon Titi quarters.”
Abdullahi, however, said an investigation into the incident had commenced.
