Residents of the Oyede Avenue Plaza in the Sango-Ota area of Ogun State on Sunday discovered the decomposing body of a newborn baby in their neighbourhood.
A police source told PUNCH Online that the mother of the baby girl, identified as 21-year-old Esther Ojuko, who was believed to have delivered the baby alive, allegedly killed her by wrapping the baby inside a sack and throwing her into a nearby compound.
Our correspondent could not ascertain how old the deceased baby was when the incident happened.
The state police command said Ojuko might be mentally unbalanced at the time of the crime.
PUNCH Online gathered from the command that when a stench dominated the area, some residents began combing the surroundings to find out the source of the unpleasant smell.
Our correspondent gathered that a resident later discovered that the stench was emanating from a sack behind a compound in the area.
