A day old baby was on Thursday reportedly found along the corridor of an apartment in Ozalla village, Isuofia in Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra state.

The baby wrapped in a cloth and abandoned by an unknown person, was reportedly found by the occupant of the house, who was said to have taken the baby to the police station.

Similarly, an 11-year old boy who gave his name as Akachukwu Gabriel was reportedly found wondering along the temporary site of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) junction.

Confirming both incidents, Police spokesperson, Haruna Mohammed said the baby was in good health condition and would be handed over to the Social Welfare for proper care while efforts were ongoing to trace the parent to unravel the circumstances surrounding the incident.

He said the 11-year old boy is presently in the protective care of B’ Divisional Anti human trafficking unit Awka pending identification of his parents or guardian.
