AN unidentified teenage mother has dumped her new-born baby girl in a church, leaving a note behind in which she pleaded with the priest to assume full custody of the child as well as her upkeep as she would return at “the appropriate time” to claim the baby.
The incident occurred, weekend, in Ibusa, Oshimili North Local Government Area of Delta State.
An eyewitness told newsmen that parishioners at Saint Augustine’s Catholic Church, Ibusa, were shocked to find the new born baby girl at the front of the church when they went for early morning mass.
The witness, one of the parishioners, who pleaded anonymity, said: “My brother, it was a big shock.
The mother of the baby even wrote a note to the parish priest, saying that he should name the child Ogechi, and promised to come for her at the appropriate time.”
