Photo: A Woman Stones One Of Her Twin BabiesTo Death

Mad woman in Aba, Abia State, gave birth
to a set of female twins on a heap of refuse
at the weekend and stoned one of them to
death.

According to reports, the woman in her
mid 20s delivered in the wee hours of
Saturday without any assistance on top of
a heap of garbage close to an AGIP filling
station at Alaoji, along the Ikot Ekpene
Road, near Aba.

On giving birth to the girls, the insane
woman allegedly fell asleep.
However, when one of the babies started
crying, she woke up, used a stone she
found within the place to hit her and the
child died before she could be rescued by
onlookers.

Sensing that the life of the second baby
could also be in danger, residents of the
area alerted the police and the Divisional
Police Officer (DPO) for Ogbor Hill
Division, Mrs. Helen Nze, was said to have
led a team of policemen to the refuse
dump.

The police rushed the baby that was still
alive to a private hospital, where she was
cleaned and given medication, and
deposited the dead one in a mortuary.
