A 23-year-old woman, Hadiza Shehu has been arrested by the Jigawa State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps, NSCDC for dumping her new born baby boy in a pit toilet after giving birth to him in the night in Yankoli Quarters, Hadejia Local Government Area of the state.
Dr. Muhammad Gidado, State Commander of NSCDC, in a statement in Dutse, said she admitted to the crime in the course of investigation.
One 42-year-old Muhammad Akarami who is allegedly a fake Mallam was named by the girl as being responsible for the pregnancy and allegedly instructed her to dump the baby in a toilet whenever she gave birth.
According to her, the Mallam told her that it was a divine revelation and threatened that if she refused, she would either die or go mad.
