A young woman who allegedly threw away her 10-month-old baby in a river, has been arrested by Delta State Police Command.

Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe disclosed this in a statement sent to newsmen in Warri.

The Police spokesman said, “Here is a lady who threw her 10-month-old baby into the river.”

According to SP Edafe, “When I asked her why she did it, she said her friends and other women abuse and shame her that the child does not have a father, and that’s the reason she threw the baby away.”

SP Edafe said, ”thats not a justification for her action, but we should also be mindful of what we say to people.”
