Narrating the incident, Ehirim said, “This morning, I came out to clean in front of my yard as I usually do. While sweeping, I saw what looked like a doll inside the gutter. Initially, I ignored it, thinking it was a toy. But someone later called my attention and insisted I take a closer look. When I did, I realized it was a human baby.”
Overwhelmed, he revealed a series of strange occurrences that have plagued his property since its purchase
“I am calling on the police and the public to help me find out who left the baby here. Since I bought this compound, I’ve not had peace. I don’t know what I did to deserve this. At night, cats cry near my window. Sometimes, I step out and see things I can’t explain,” he said.
Ehirim disclosed that the shocking incident has been reported to the Nkpolu Police Division, and he’s also seeking assistance in identifying the child’s mother and resolving the troubling situation
“I didn’t do anything wrong by buying this property. I didn’t steal to own it. I’m pleading with everyone—please help me,” he added, visibly shaken.
While police authorities have yet to make an official statement regarding the most recent incident, the community is calling for a swift investigation and steps to address the underlying issues leading to these heartbreaking cases.
