Grandmother Arrested for Allegedly Burying Daughter’s Newborn Baby Alive in Lagos
A shocking incident has come to light in the Ogombo area of Ajah, Lagos State, where a grandmother has been arrested for allegedly burying her daughter’s newborn baby alive. The 17-year-old girl, identified as Favour, gave birth without assistance and informed her mother immediately after. However, instead of seeking help or notifying the authorities, the grandmother reportedly took drastic measures to conceal the pregnancy.
Neighbours began to suspect the grandmother’s actions and eventually drew attention to the pregnancy. Despite initially denying the claims, the teenager revealed in a viral video that her mother had taken the baby away and later informed her that the baby had died. This revelation has sparked outrage and disbelief among the community.
According to a source who spoke anonymously, a neighbour witnessed the grandmother burying the baby alive in the backyard of their residence. Despite rushing to retrieve the baby, it was already too late as the newborn had tragically passed away. The neighbour described the heartbreaking scene of the baby still crying before being buried, raising questions about why intervention was not made earlier.
Police Confirm Arrest of Grandmother
Benjamin Hundeyin, the Police Public Relations Officer for Lagos State, confirmed the incident and stated that the grandmother had been arrested. The investigation revealed that the grandmother had premeditated the act of burying the baby alive. The 17-year-old mother is now in police custody for care and support, not as a suspect in the case.
This harrowing incident has shocked the local community and raised concerns about the welfare of young mothers and newborn babies. The authorities are urging anyone with information or suspicions of child endangerment to come forward and report such cases promptly. Justice must be served for the innocent life lost in this tragic event.
