In a statement on Sunday, Josephine Adeh, FCT police spokesperson, said the command recovered the abandoned baby along a bush path in Mpape.
“The rescued baby will be handed over to the Department of Social Welfare for proper care while the mother will face prosecution according to the provisions of Sections 14 and 16 of the Child Rights Act (CRA) 2003 upon the conclusion of investigations,” the police spokesperson said.
She said the neonate was promptly rescued and taken to the Mpape Primary Health Care Centre “where medical evaluation confirmed the baby is in stable condition”.
