A farmer, Malam Kabiru Kamba, has narrated how he rescued a newly born baby girl, buried alive in his farmland in Kamba, Dandi Local Government Area of Kebbi.
\nKamba, narrated the incident when he received a team of the state\u2019s Technical Working Group (TWG), of the Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in his residence in Kamba on Monday.
\nThe team was led by the former Permanent Secretary, State Ministry for Basic and Secondary Education, Hajiya Rafa\u2019atu Hammani.
\nNarrating the incident, Kamba, said that he arrived at his farm on Friday and noticed an usual ridge among regular ones in his farmland.
\n\u201cOut of curiosity, I flagged down some motorcyclists to help dig. While digging the ridge, we found a wrapper buried in the soil, which raised my suspicion.
\n\u201cI immediately informed the police at a nearby checkpoint, who came and dug further, only to discover a baby girl, miraculously alive and crying, shrouded in a piece of textile,\u201d he said.
\nKamba said, upon his request, the baby was handed over to him by officials of the Dandi local government council, pending conclusion of police investigations.
\n\u201cI have taken the custody of the child for humanity and out compassion.
\n\u201cIn such situation, it is only normal to help. I was moved to care for her and requested her custody.
\n\u201cI didn\u2019t expect anything in return, it\u2019s simply a humanitarian act, and coincidentally, my wife had just given birth; so breastfeeding the baby has not been a challenge.
\n\u201cIn fact, we have planned her naming ceremony for Wednesday, and I have already bought a ram and other essential requisites for the event. By Allah\u2019s will, she will be named then,\u201d he narrated.
\nOn her part, his wife expressed willingness and joy in accepting the baby into their family.
\n\u201cI felt perfectly fine and happy when my husband told me. I will take care of her just the way I will do to my own,\u201d she promised.
\nResponding, Hammani, assured the rescuer that reports from the visit would be relayed to the Wife of the Governor, Hajiya Zainab-Nasare Idris, for further action.
\nIn his remarks, the Secretary, TWG, Alhaji Nasiru Idris said the purpose of the visit was to express heartfelt concern over the incident, offer prayers of gratitude to Almighty Allah for sparing the baby\u2019s life and commend the heroic actions of the rescuer.
\nHe also reaffirmed TWG\u2019s commitment to offering support to the baby, while commending the Nigeria Police for swinging into action in searching and bringing the perpetrator to book.
\nThe team donated essential items, including soap, baby clothes, detergents, diapers, a baby bed, powdered milk, mosquito net, and mattress, among others to the baby. (NAN)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
