A day-old baby boy abandoned in Tayi area of Minna, Niger State, was rescued a few hours after he was abandoned on Saturday evening.

A resident, Aliyu Bala Ibrahim, said the baby was wrapped in leather and left without clothes on him.

He said, “Ants had started crawling on him before he was found. The umbilical cord was still attached to the baby. I think he was born a few hours ago. They didn’t even bathe him. They just washed the blood off his body and threw him away
